1.Turn the axle so that the rack is up
2.Remove the three bolts that hold in the wedge.
3.Tighten the jack bolts a much as you can but not past 600-700 ftlbs the wedge can break
4.Jack up one side of the tractor
5.Hit the end of the axle with a twelve pound sledge
three times,hit it square so you don't damage it
6.Tighten the jack bolts
7.Repeat 5-7 until the wedge is loose and you can remove it completly
8.Put a cart under the wheel or a piece of plywood with lots of grease on it
9.Lower the jack until the rack is free of the pinon
10.Roll or slide the tire off the axleNow all you have to do is get the pinion loose or just move the wheel to where you want it and jack it up and reinstall the wedge, tourque the bolts. Most of the stuck wheels I encounter are more from too much torque not rust You can use oil, grease or anti-seize to help it move next time, or for you origiality nuts put wax paper on the wedge and axle as recommended by Deere An impact 3/4" or bigger helps alot but I have moved many with nothing but the JD wheel adjusting wrenches, they can handle a hard hit with a sledge. this technique has never failed me If you ever drive a tractor to loosen the wedge and loose it while driving you will never want to do it again. trust me I have experienced this
