[AT] Fw: Cockshutt 40 Wheels

[John Hall]

No experience with the tractor you are working on but I'll toss in my $.02 
for moving anything stuck. Fire up the torch. I find I a little heating with 
the torch will produce far less broken parts and stripped out threads. 
Anyway you can get to the bolts to tap them once the nuts are off? I 
remember talking to a service guy at a John Deere dealership. He told me 
that when they get something like a 4020 that the rear wheels won't move on 
the adjusment on the axle that they will take it out for a spin with all the 
bolts loose. I know its a different scenario than what you have but it might 
work.

Good luck,
John
