I am trying to replace a broken wheel on a JD 2510. I have taken the three bolts out of the center and tried to drive the two bolts in to "push the wheel off. It's not working very well! I need some advice...

Thanks,

Dug

I've never been impressed with seeing the local JD techs whacking the axle with a maul. First of all, the operator manual tells you how to use the five bolts. Buy that. Beyond that- find a pipe slightly larger than the tractor axle. Cut away half of it's diameter a few inches, so when laid on the axle, with the -to be moved wedge on top- the longer portion fits the tapered half you need to move. Weld a half inch piece of flat stock across the end and whack THAT with a post maul to drive the wedge inward. Does not damage any bearings, just moves what you need to loosen.

Are you DRIVING (pounding with a hammer), or screwing the bolts in?

Lots of good penetrating oil, and BIG impact wrench are helpfull.

A Deere-approved method is to take a piece of pipe that fits over the axle and smack it with a BIG hammer (maul). I can't imagine that's the best for the axle bearings, but the procedure IS shown in some operator's manuals.

I am screwing the bolts in.

There is an adjusting bolt, looks like it is used to move the wheel on the axle. Is this bolt used in removing the wheel?

thanks,

Dug

Run the 2 jack bolts in as tight as you can,smack the end of the axle squarely with a big sledge,tighten jack bolts again,hit end of axle again,repeat as necessary until the cone comes loose. The bolt going in side ways is the rack bolt to adjust the wheel in and out.You will probably find it is frozen.To get the wheel off,(if the adjuster is frozen)once the first locking cone is loose,is remove the bolts for the inner cone,remove it,spin the wheel a half turn on the axle and slide the wheel off. Once it is off,you can clean, free up and lube the adjusting mechanism.

The tire is loose on the axle and I am thinking seriously about calling the tire guy. When I spun the wheel it moved closer to the tractor. As it weighs 700 pounds, I am having some difficulty in man handling it. Perhaps an 8 foot 2x4 could assist, just dunno! I am tired and going to take a little break.

Thanks for the help so far...

Dug
