Farmall H tractors. The bolts holding the rim/tire onto the wheels are frozen on something bad and I want to switch out to another tire/rim set...would it be easier to remove the wheel/rim/tire altogether of heating bolts and trying to go that route? What would be the best method if a person had one day to switch out four tire/rims?

They may not be as bad as they look. They usually seem to come off even though they look pretty rough.

A good impact wrench should break them loose... if not, break out the fire wrench - bolts are not that expensive.

like john said, dont try to remove the wheels with the hubs by yourself. the are awkward and real heavy. also check to see if the tires are loaded with chloride, with the tire valve located at the 6 oclock position, try and let some air out of the tire, if you get a liquid out, them tires are awful heavy, fully loaded, each tire can have 500 pounds or so of weight , along with the weight of the tire and rim. spray the bolts up good with pb blaster, let em soak half an hour and use a 3/4 drive socket with a big cheater bar.

I would not attempt to pull the entire wheel with rim and tire mounted on it unless I had a stout helper. You could get hurt real bad. The nuts should come off if You have adequate tools. 3/4" or 1" Breaker bar with a 2 to 3 foot cheater pipe has worked for me, or good impact wrench is even easier.
