I have a problem, I can't move the wheels on my tractor in or out, I have put about everything you can think of on them and they still won't move. Does anyone have any ideas.

Thank you Paul

It wont help now but it will make it easier next time, slide a pc . of wax paper under the clamp block before retightening and the next time it will come back out fairly easy.

Assuming that the tractor runs, loosen the clamp, and drive the tractor around and watch for movement. Mine came loose after about a half mile. Good luck, Mike

Moving wheels in and out on an old tractor that has not had them touched in a long while is a major undertaking. If you search this site, you will find a lot of peoples suggestions. Mine specifically are: librally apply penetrating oil to the hubs, clamps and axles. People usually suggest doing it over and over for a few weeks. Second, remove the wheels. They're heavy so be careful. You will probably need to make a tool to take the bolts out. Basically, you weld the right size bolt on the end of a steel bar, sctew the nut on the exposed thread of the wheel bolts and wack the rod with a sledge until the bolts come out and the wheel will come off. Third, remove the hub. Follow the I & T manual. Remove the bolts from their holes. Screw them in the adjacent ones and tighten them equally until the hub comes off. This ain't easy, however. Usually the bolt threads are so bad, you have to order new bolts from John Deere and clean out the previously unused threads in the hub. The bolts are threaded all the way down. Lastly, and you are going to hate this: have a machine shop make a round 3/4" steel plate about 6 or 7 inches in diameter, and drill three holes in the plate to match the holes in the hubs. Buy some long bolts that fit the hub threads, and attach the plate to the end of the axle with the bolts screwed into the hub. Tighten each bolt equally as hard as you can, and wack the plate (which is against the axel) with a 20 pound sledge hammer until the hub moves. Tighten the bolts and wack again, and again, and again... until the hub comes off. Expect to spend a day per wheel. Sorry for the bad news..... ..... ..
