It is the rear hubs I am trying to remove.

you did not say how you tried removing them, or where this is and what you have to work with. I just give them a yank with another tractor.

I use 4 pieces of threaded rod double nutted and 2 thick pieces of square tube making a x and put in a 40 ton bottle jack against the axle
and crank away.
I will try add a pic

Rust, nature's Loctite. I did a SW6 about 15 years ago and it was real pain. I build a bridge similar to what is in the picture. I used a very heavy duty impact puller and a propane weed burner. I also beat on the hub. It took a couple of weeks to do both sides. Lots of heat and lots of pressure is what it takes. So far all the axle bearing are just fine after my beatings and heat. Just keep doing what you are doing, it will take some time.

When I tried to get the wheels off my W-4, one came off easily, the other wheel, I tried heat, pulling frames with jacks etc. to no avail. In the end I took the axle and wheel (after removing the bull gear and then pulling the axle out of the axle carrier)to an engineering firm and they used a 10 ton press to remove the wheel from the axle
