If the wheel to hub (three bolts) are not an issue, Then the way you have described your bearings is a problem. The inner race shoild be a nice clean finger push onto the spindle. it should turn, but only with a fair grip on it. If the race is easy to spin, and has clearance, either it (not likely) or the spindle (likely) is worn. There should be no sholder to prevent its removal as indicated in your post. The hub should also have the outer race in a tight grip. This grip is a press fit and requires a driver, or patient careful punching around the edges to install, or remove it. Worn spindles and hubs could be repaired (welded up and re-bored to spec) but different parts may be cheaper. If it was used with a loader, and or the grease was never changed, the wear can be on the parts that are not hardened. New bearings are also probably a good idea, as these will be worn to some degree from "walking around" in the parts designed to hold them in place.
I hope it is the wheel bolts.
