Default Front wheels stuck
I am trying to take off the front wheels on the 1914 for new tires and paint but I can't get them off. Took off the bolts and washers. PB blaster and pounding with a maul (wood to protect the wheel). I have smashed a couple of 2x4s already and neither one will budge. Looks like the bearing races are rusted to the shaft. Bearings are shot so I don't care if they get ruined. Any bright ideas?
Thanks
Adam

Heat and beat. Maybe a BIG puller. Take a punch and smack the bearing where it fits over the shaft. About all I can recommend at the moment.

Fair enough. Unfortunately I only have a little plumbing torch and no puller that would fit on the wheel. I will keep on it with the PB and pounding. Maybe let the PB soak a couple of days.
Thanks

Drop the spindle and block up the wheel and put a bolt in the end of the spindle and whack it till it comes out

X2. Or use an air hammer/chisel. Probably the usual get it to budge, then back the other way, then the other way, you get the idea. PB is your friend. The repetitive constant shock of the air hammer does well if you have access to one.

Take a board and put on back of rim prying off axle. To put a little pressure and the hit bolt head. The shock should move it.

I pulled the spindles and put in a 6" bolt and gave it a good whack and out she came. Now i need to get the bearings pulled. Fun fun.
Thanks again.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
