Instead of using anything that would have inserted into the wheel, I simply got three 2 1/2" by 3/4 inch bolts, cleaned the threads in the hub, lubed the bolts, and threaded them into the hub. There was room enough between the hub and the wheel that I could put a piece of 1/4" bar stock between the bolts and the wheel, with the bolts bottoming against the bar stock.
I then took a 3', 3/4" drive breaking bar (home made) and put all the pressure on the bolts that I reasonably could. Nothing moved, so I figured I'd come back in 20 minutes and see if I could put more pressure on the bolts. While I was cranking on the bolts the second time the hub came loose.
Kinda flattened the ends of the bolts, but I can take an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and cut the ends off the bolts so I can back them out of the hub without damaging the threads in the hub. I'll gladly expend the three bolts to get the hub loose.
Also, our local Agco-Claas dealer no longer stocks AC parts, but the parts manager was real decent about ordering the axle seal and O ring I need. Said they'd be here on Tuesday.
Still have to slide the hub off the axle and probably use my loader to lift the wheel off, but the critical part's done.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
