If the tractor runs and moves, then drive it around a bit with the bolts a little loose and the jam bolts tight. You'll be surprised how this helps. The last two tractors (4440 and 4320), I bladed the driveway and when I turned around on the ends I'd give the jam bolts a little pull. The wheels were loose before I was done blading.

Some people loosen the wedges by whacking the end of the axle with a BFH. That's not the piece you're trying to loosen- you whack the wedge with a pipe tool to do some good. Pipe tool is a pipe slightly larger than the axle, and a bit longer. Cut half moon out of one end, leave enough steel to match the wedge. Weld heavy cover on other end. Lay on axle and use bfh to drive wedge loose.

Make sure the ratchet grooves on the axle are on the top, then jack up the tractor.
Loosen all large bolts. I think there are 6 if I can remember. These are wedge bolts. Then tighten the two smaller ones. This will loosen the wedges from the axle. Once the wedges are loose you can move the wheel in or out with the ratchet bolt. Before you tighten the wedge bolts make sure the two smaller pusher bolts are loosened off. Hope this helps.

That is what I was looking for. I heard these things can be a pain sometimes and require allot of heat to get them to move. Hopefully I will get lucky and they will be easy. Thank you for the advice for I was wondering what the small bolts where for.

If they are not rusted or "frozen" they move fairly easy, otherwise you are right alot of heat. A blacksmith shop used an air hammer to break loose the wheels on a 4430 my uncle purchased. Heat and the air hammer still took a while but they did come loose and nothing was broken. There is a small hole in the wheel hub that should have a cork. You can put penetrating oil in through this hole. When in use this hole should be plugged to help keep dirt and moisture out.
