Stuck duels! Frustrated

Nick m · Jun 10, 2016

This is my first year with clamp on, t rail or whatever you want to call them. Went on easy enough in the beginning of the spring, but can't budge them now. All clamps are removed. I've tried prying, driving in circles stomping on the brakes, even tried a couple straps pulling with another tractor to the point i thought something was going to break. Any other thoughts? I'm thinking about buying a porta power and trying that. 20.8-38's if that matters.

On my JD4430 with T-rails I use a hydraulic bottle jack between the inner hub and the t-rail to jack it off. Been that way since we first got it.

Try driving with the dual on a higher surface.....puts all the weight on it with an outward force. Ben

Son of a gun. I'll try that next. Thanks. This also happens to be a 4430. Odd

I laid an old 8 inch post down and split the diff between inner and outer and drove forward. Make sure the valve stem in down and not up.

Worked!

The bottle jack worked! You guys are geniuses!

Same thing on my 4430, never thought of the jack. My clamp-ons had a hole on 1 side so I hooked a chain there and into the rail on the other side and drove away. I had forks on so I could turn around and pick them up.

At my brothers auction, I bot Grandad's old screw bumper jack. Works great for taking duals off. Chris

I have an overhead fuel tank I drive up next to. Put down a block 6x6, 4x6 or whatever size it takes to get the duel just barely off the ground. Jack the dual apart, wiggle it over to and prop it up on the tank. Turn the tractor around and repeat. Reverse to put back on, minus the bottle jack of course.

Mine come apart hard. Glad to have a 8ton jack to use.

Most have a round hole in the band to stick a 1 inch shaft in to pry right on the inside rim usually a 2 foot shaft will take them off from inside of the wheel so ya don't pry on the tire.

Dear one,
Be very careful leaving duals leaning against anything. Had a friend do that years ago and some kids were playing on them and tipped one over on himself and the band nearly cut the kid in two.
