I went to the hardware store and bought a nut the same size as the nut that held on the steering wheel, and a bolt that would thread into it, as long as I could, like 3-4". Threaded the nut halfway on the steering shaft and then the bolt down into the nut and tightened with a wrench.
I got on the tractor and put my knees under the steering wheel pressing up on the wheel. I then whacked the bolt with a big ball peen hammer a couple of times and the wheel popped loose.
