Well, there you go.

DarkMinion, I did retighten good and hard (by hand, no air), then loosened again, then used the air hammer again, and, whaddayaknow, off it came!

Ironman, Thank you for the suggestions, but fortunately, I got it without resorting to a new construction project.

As for the taper, sorry to be disagreeable, but there is definitely a taper.
I've indicated it in the photos below:

Tightening a stubborn bolt or nut then trying again to loosen it occasionally works and is always worth a try.

If you want to call what you pointed out a tapered steering shaft, that's fine with me, but this is what I'm talking about......

You just might find that that spline/taper is the same as Gm in the 70-90's maybe newer and older also.
( And jeep as they used the same steering column.)
it a pretty common spline

Now that you mention it, I do have a deep-dish wheel from a '68 Olds 88 lying around the barn somewhere...

We're both talking about the same thing.

I can't tell exactly where the taper is considered to begin here, or where it ends, and I haven't used any sophisticated means to determine the perpendicularity of my diameter measurements, but with ends that vary by about 0.038", separated by a length of about ¾", that's pretty much exactly 0.050" per inch (which would be 0.0375"), which is characteristic of a Jarno taper.
A #6 Jarno taper starts at ¾" and tapers to 0.6" over a length of 3½", so this GM steering wheel taper appears to be a modified Jarno taper.




To clarify my point, and the reason I've been a PIA about it, I wanted to make clear that when pulling a Cub steering wheel, you are not (or not necessarily) trying to break free the large surface are of a rusted spline; you are generally trying to break a taper connection, which is a slightly different animal than a rusted splined shaft, and will require significant force even if it is not rusted at all.

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.
