I have a 1961 John Deere 2010. I'm trying to remove the back wheel. it is the type that you can adjust the tire in or out. it has two big bolts in the center of the wheel. i removed the two bolts but not sure how to take the tire/rim off. is there a special tool to assist in removing the tire? thanks for any replies
 
Should be 9 bolts that hold the rim to the tractor. Remove them and possibly shake or wiggle the tire assembly to get it to come off. Make sure the rear of your tractor is supported.
 

which one of the eight versions of models and options ?

thanks but it only has two bolts in the center of the wheel. it looks like it will need a pulley to take the rim off

I wish i could but right now i have it torn down painting and repairing the tractor. i have the radiator, water pump, coil, distributor cap/wires off as well as other parts. i was trying to get the tire/wheel off so i could paint it and replace a seal behind it as well as to take off the fenders.

I haven't been on this form in years, interesting that I have this very issue at this time with my 2010. I have the same adjustable rear wheels. I am making a puller out of 1" steel plate that will fasten to the wheel thru the two cast holes opposite each other, 7" apart. Using 5/8" threaded rod with a washer and nut on each end.

In the center of the new plate, there will be a 3/4" tapped hole for the jack bolt to push on the axle. I'm optimistic it should work.

thanks for your message. Misery loves company!. I went to the local John deere place today. No one could tell me how to take it off. the head mechanic said if i bring it in--he is sure he could get it off. I took the adjusters off and i got the tire off but the part that connects to the aisle is still on. Your pully invention crossed my mind but i dont know if i'm skilled enough to make one. I would like to know how it comes out for you. I tried using a small sledge hammer but i dont think it budged. my thought is why would they make something like this so hard for farmers. please keep in touch--mark
