Default IH Cub Cadet 105 steering wheel removal

I would like to remove the steering wheel from my Cub Cadet 105 so that I can repaint the tractor. Is there a good way to remove a steering wheel without destroying it? The curved plastic base will not allow a wheel puller to be used.


Thank you for your suggestions.

PB Blaster and patents for starters.
Here is what I used on my original, granted the spokes aren't coated.

Good point Lew. But this time everything worked as planned.

Zippy he is refering to a 105 steering wheel removal. Using that set up will mash the tapered plastic botttom of the steering wheel. BTDT I have had better luck with a steering wheel puller connected to a clam shell puller on the bottom of the plastic. Draw it up up pretty snug and give the end of the threaded rod a good smack with a hammer. Should dislodge it.

You can try something like this. The wood is piece is split in 2 halves, placed under steering wheel and bolted back together. The puller bolts go through the wood, pulls on the wood, no damage to plastic.

I've been told the guys at the CC shop sit on the seat with their knees under the steering wheel rim and then use a pneumatic hammer to thump on the steering shaft.

Never tried it but sounds like it might work.

I got tired of trying different things so I got a puller set from HF and have made the jobs on my Kids real easy. Don't know if it would be worth it if you only had one wheel to mess with. Seems I am ordering tools I don't have every couple of days. I love this madness.

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.
