Richard in NZ has the ticket. As he indicates, loosen (or twist off) the lugnuts on both wheels (not much, but to get them broken loose). Jack up the tractor, and block under the axle housing on each side so that the tires are just barely off the ground. Then remove the lug bolts. Be careful with the tires, they may be full of liquid. They may weigh 1000# each and can kill you. A good professional level ton and a half cherry picker is definately needed (rental is OK). When the tires (which have a standard pattern to the bolts, and can be sold on Ebay easily) are out of the way, use an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel to grind through the hub along the keyway. This will take several hours, and many sparks, and old cloths, and dirt, and a mask, and gogles. When cut through, wedge the crack apart with chisels to open the hole, and slide them off. If you want to go faster, have someone with a portable cutting torch (who knows how to use it) come over and cut the off. THis is best done outside due to the far hotter sparks and serious hot metal. Getting them off by force is possible with a heavy gear puller and some heat. Sanding and polishing the outer end of the axle, and using a porta power would also work. Good luck, it is possible, but a serious task. I do not believe they are welded at the axle on either side. JimN
