Hi! Today I'm going to show you how I removed my RUSTED rear wheel on my John Deere lawntractor using a 20TONN Bottle Jack. IT WORKS!! Credit for this goes to JDCCETECH on the MyTractorForum.com. Here's a link (2nd post):

ALSO, at the end of my video I show another what I call 'last resort' method you can try: drilling a hole in the rim, sawing a slot in the hub and splitting the hub. Try this if the bottle jack method fails (yikes really stuck!), and you'll still be able to reuse your wheel.

The MyTractorForum is 7 pagefulls of tips, fun and madness. Unbelievable. When I started reading up on the amount of people with these problems and the frequent failure of anything working (including bending a 10ton shop press(!), I was amazed! What a bad design never thought changing the rear wheels could be such a huge adventure......:o)

As I say in the video, this WORKS, just make SURE everything is square, straight and secure, take your time and be CAREFUL. The amount of force here can do a lot of damage (to you!) if something springs and goes cockeyed. I did this 6 times over and over without a problem, so just take your time, use a good quality chain and you''ll be fine.

I ramble on a bit at the end about fixing low voltage at the starter solenoid, my other videos, and one of my favorite Horses, Justify, the 2018 Triple Crown Thoroughbred! (let me know if you want my wallpaper...:o)
