Several ways to go at it, and expanding some on what's already ben offered.
If the rim is off and you've got a cherry picker, a stout bolt through the wheel and a chain to lift with will get it off.
Lift or not, it can be easier and safer to do it with the tire and rim on. Jack it to the point that the bottom of the tire just kisses the floor -- that spot where most all of the weight of the tractor is on the jack and only the weight of the tire/rim/wheel assembly is on the gorund. Next part is tres important. Have a healthy helper with you. The weight of just the tire rim and wheel is considerable. An added weight will make it even more challenging and a loaded tire to boot can make this job quite hazardous. You want to have room to the side for a) the whole shebang to fall over and, b) more room, side and fore-and-aft, for both you and the helper to spring clear if you should lose control of it. Here again, a cherry picker would be handy with a strap looped around the tire and rim to hold it up and then let it down easily - especially helful if the tire is loaded. Once you're set up, you can pull the six bolts in the center, walk it sideways a little to clear the hub, then roll it away or simply lower it to the floor to work on it. When you do tip it over, it might he helpful to not lay it flat, but prop one edge up on a good-size block, so you can reach both faces with a wrench if that's necessary to get the offending weight off.
