Update: Yesterday I finally managed to get the steering wheel off using the Ultradog method. Chalk up one for the Good Guys!
I originally tried making a sleeve out of a 2 PVC coupling, because these were cheap in the hardware store, and an 8-long x2 ID steel pipe nipple was $13 with tax (!) Readers be advised that this didn't work. The PVC is simply too plastic, and it bent, and finally broke. I next found some 2 steel pipe on our property, and fashioned a sleeve the way Ultradog intended. An angle grinder w cutting blade is the way to go in making that.
I had to crank the heck out of the 3-jaw gear puller, using a cheater bar on my ratchet. But, the steering wheel finally broke loose (suddenly, with a loud BANG!). The plastic bottom of the steering wheel is now severely deformed from the massive pressure applied. It could, however, be trimmed, and put back on. Or, as I'm doing, an aftermarket wheel can be found for a 6610S on ebay cheapest, or in other places, with prices ranging from $34-60.
Next up is trying to remove what's left of the old, rusty muffler, to be able to remove the tin over the engine, to be able to get at the instrument-panel tin, to remove that & get at the chewed-up wiring. It's been cold, so I'll have to wait till it warms a bit.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
