How do you remove the rear wheel hub on a JD model B, both cast and pressed wheels? Local tire shop can"t seem to break the center loose.

This can be a real contest. First, start by spraying down the hubs with your favorite "spirits of cats a fightin", such as Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, etc. Spray them once a day. Now, loosen the clamps and push them off with the bolts, or use a wedge to loosen them. Once the clamps are loose, re-install the bolts loosely and then drive the tractor around the farm-yard slowly and watch for the hubs to move on the axles. Do not do any hard turns or fast driving in this condition. When you see the hubs start to move on the axle, spray them some more and move them with a big block of wood and a big hammer. There has been many postings on this site about using metal plates, all-thread rod, hydraulic jacks and etc. to pull the hubs. Loosen the wheel to hub bolts to relieve some of the tension. If you have the power/guts to remove the wheels from the hubs, this will help. Nobody ever said it would be easy, but it can be done.
Have Fun!!

the wheels on The A model JD (1952) I have refused to move also.
However not to be out done I made a 1" thick wheel puller. The hole pattern was made for all of the holes in the hub and case hardened bolts were run through all of the holes with double washers on all bolts with grease smeared between them. After tightening the bolts all the way around using a long handle pull bar, the hub started moving. The bolts were changed to shorter bolts, when the threads ran out.
This worked better than any thing I have ever used to get it off.
