Got the bearings off! Used a grinder with a cut off wheel to cut deep enough to use a chisel to do the rest of the work...though I don't think I will be able to bring them into a local tractor supply store as they are pretty unrecognizable now :-).
Now on to taking the tines off. Trying to decide if I should take each blade off the tines separately or try to get the each set of 4 off still connected to the plate
