Older horse model: How do you pull the wheels off??( i heared it was a task) Where can you buy tires for it? Miller, Cocker etc? Now is it easier to change them with the rim on the machine ( i have seen this done to equipment before) thanks
 
Its been a while ,but I think all you do is drive out a tapered pin on the back side of the wheel.That tiller had either diamond our bar tread tires.You should be able to get them about anywhere.GOOD LUCK!
 
Hey Jocco, nuthing to it. They are held on by a roll pin that goes thru the hub and the shaft. Drive it out with a 1/4 inch dia. steel rod,16 penny nail with blunt end, etc. The wheel should slide off. If not squirt some penetrating oil around and tap the rubber tire to cause some vibrations so the oil can work its way in.
When putting back on, grease the shaft. If roll pin is wobbly after inserting get one of those hose clamps and use it to hold the pin in. Never had to change a tire on mine yet, no help there.
 
You need to to remove the roll pin on the inner side of the rim. The shaft may be rusty & may need sanded to get the rim off. You can probably replace the tires by tilting the tiller
over use a C-clamp to break the bead on the tire
then use small tire irons to remove the tire. It may have a tube in the tire. Check with any of your tire stores to see if they have the tires. I have one of the bar treads that's never been used for $25.00 plus shipping. Hal
 
I have one that my dad got back in 1972 and it still has the same tires on it form back then. I tried to pull one off this year, drove the roll pin out and it still didn't want to come off and I even broke a puller trying so I just popped it loose on the machine and put the tube I was putting in while it was on the machine. I plan to run those old tires till you can see the air in the tube I just put in. Yep I'm cheap LOL
 
I have a 1979 horse. The first time I removed the wheel, I removed a roll pin and was able to remove the wheel assy on the left side by prying just a little bit. My rt side would not come off and I have always keep it wet with kroil since. I just replaced a tire last year by taking the tire off of the rim.
 
If the rim has been on a LOOOOG time and rusted, about the only way to remove the rim from the axle is with serious heat from an ox/act. torch and some four letter words, BTDT and I got the T-shirt.

i hardly ever pull a wheel on small stuff anymore...just as easy to change tire while wheel mounted...getting them to inflate and seat bead is sometimes more fun than i want...use a tube...they hold air forever.
 
I had a real hard time getting the wheel off the axle a few years ago. It had been on for over 30 years and just would not seperate from the axle. Tried just about everything, oil, heat, force, puller, etc. Finally got it off but I did bend the rim up some and had to straighten it back out. If you use heat be aware that there are oil seals where the axle enters the transmission. I needed to replace the seals anyhow so I did not care if the heat ruined the seals. I wish I had a good tip/answer for you.

I had to tear down my older horse (late 70"s model) tranny last year to replace the seals, add shims, etc. And unfortunately, I can feel your pain in regards to getting the rims off the axle.

I tried everything from high heat, soaking in penetrating oil, air impact chisel, pullers, etc and nothing worked. In the end, wound up cutting off the rims and getting replacement rims and tires for her.

And this time....when I put them on, applied anti-seize to the axle and the hub.

Wish I had better news but I don"t.
 
Jocco, if all else fails, you can weld a big nut to the outside of the wheel center, then use a matching bolt to screw into the nut. Bolt contacts the axle, forcing the wheel off. Makes a ready made puller. Leave the nut on there when you're done - you may need it again someday.
