Unable to pull, the steering wheel off the shaft.
Hi again guys. I'm having another tough time with my old CC 125, and I need to get this thing going again, cuz I have a few mounds of dirt that need to be moved with my nice little Danco loader. I started getting into the steering problems, and of course rebuilding the steering box requires the removal of the steering wheel in order to drop the steering box and shaft etc out through the bottom of the frame. Getting the big nut off the steering wheel shaft was a two day affair...using a lot of PB Blaster, some hammering, and a very long breaker bar on the socket wench. That was just the beginning. I tried several styles and sizes of three hook gear pullers...to no avail. I applied a torch....I only succeeded in burning up the steering wheel plastic hub center. I didn't care...I want to replace the wheel with a larger one...If I can find one to fit. I have now stripped away the charred remains of the plastic hub center, exposing the steel wheel hub. It is actually still quite useable as it is. However, all of the heating, hammering, and torquing down on the various standard three-hook gear pullers has failed to budge the frozen wheel from the steering shaft spline. Does anyone have a magic thought on wheel removal that may make my tomorrow, a bit better than today was.
Thanks in advance to all.....you guys are always a great source of help. Jim

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.
