[AJD] Wheel removal on model 44 plow

[Cotton Family]

When we restored dads, I had the same problem... The furrow wheel has a
tapered fluted shaft it fits on.. Most are rusted tight.. I took the
biggest gear puller I had and slipped it on the hub around the axel.
Then with a sacrifice material I tightened it up. Took 3 days of walking
by and keep tightening it up.. One day it was just laying there.. I did
spray a ton of Pblaster in there to...

Hi, its me again. Needing to remove the furrow wheel on my model 44,
2/14 plow. Got the 3 nuts off the bolts. Got the cap, pin and spacer
off. Wheel will only go out so far and sounds like it is hitting
something. Someone else said that the 3 bolts hold the wheel in place,
and that they get rusted in the wheel. I tapped the bolts through the
holes in the wheel and pulled the spacer behind the wheel toward the
plow. This gave me no extra movement. Is there a lip on the wheel that
goes inside the trip mechanisim? Do I have to split the mechanism to get
the wheel off? Surely there is something I am missing. Looked best I
could behind the wheel and could not see any type of C clip or snap
ring. 

The plow has factory spoke wheels with rubber tires. I know I should get
a manual for this, thought I was getting one, but someone on this list
has yet to let me know when they were getting the reprinted manual in :)

Thanks,
Duane Ledford
