I have a 1948 Case LA and I can't pull the rear hubs off. I need some information/advice on how to do this. What weight puller do I need?

I used a piece of iron that was 3/4 X 2 by about 10 in long. Drill 3 3/4 in. holes one in center and two on ends that are set so they the bolts will bit hub. The hub has 3/4 NC holes in it for pulling. If you want to rent or but one it must be big enough to handle the 3/4 in. bolts for pulling the hub.

Use a lot of heat and a big hammer to jar it loose. If the shoes are not frozen to it then it should pop right off. be sure to keep the big nut on the axle shaft so the hub doesn't fly across the room and kill or hurt someone.

Thanks, Walt. I'll give her a try. The ole lady is being stubborn at present.

Walt's Idea will work, but you need to make the puller bar heavier. Mine is 1 inch thick and 3 inches wide and I have bent it pulling the wheels off my S. My LA was actually easier to get off.

Use 2 double ended 3/4" studs with NC course thread on one end and NF fine on the other. Clean the threads in the hub with a 3/4" nc tap and thread the studs in till they botton out at the bottom of threads. Use 2 grade 8 fine thread nuts with hardened washers on the outside of the the puller plate and apply as much pressure as it takes to break them loose. With pressure applied, you can hit the center of the puller plate with a BIG sledge hammer. The impact normally breaks them loose. I use heat only as a last resort... Gene

Two options

1) Home made puller as Don described

2) Jack up opposite wheel. Fit screwed socket on axle (I think it was supplied by Case for the job). Belt socked with sledge hammer. It drives tractor off hub.

Two rosebud torches, homemade puller, get it real hot, then throw 5 gallions of cold water on it, and keep your distance. Don L.
