I had a JD 3020 come in last year that the wedges where loose and had worn the rim. So we just wanted to remove the bolts/wedges from the castings and then switch the rims side to side and use the other mounting rib that was not worn. It took us two days to get all of the bolts out of the castings. They had never been out and the tractor had been used in manure. You could not get the bolts to move using a torch and trying to drive them out with a punch. We started using an impact wrench turning the bolts while beating the bolt with a two pound hammer. That just twisted them off. We had to take both castings off and use my 50 ton press to push the bolts out of the axle casting.
If I had charged the usual $50 per hour the guy would have had a $1000 in just fixing the loose wedges. I charged him $300 and he still raised cane.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
