Just brought the family 15-30 (22-36) back from the family farm in Idaho, to Iowa City. In only one week’s time, I have removed the cylinder head (140 pounds), the platform and “fenders” and a bunch of other stuff…all for cleanup and assessment. Hasn’t run for decades. I was able to pull the left rear wheel without difficulty with my wheel puller. HOWEVER, the right rear will not pull. Here’s what I have done to try: numerous applications of penetrating oil, numerous heavy raps on the wheel on many parts of the wheel. Attempted to use the wheel puller, breaking many of the bolts that fasten it together. Purchased some hard (number 9) bolts and began to pull without luck. Many more hard raps. Then, put a long galvanized pipe on the ¾ inch drive ratchet. I am afraid I may break the puller if I turn REAL hard…might be advisable to use the breaker bar. The penetrating oil cannot get all along the splines, probably. Would welcome any suggestions. Thought about getting a large piece of bar steel and getting a sledge hammer to rap from the left to the right (in the direction of removal from the splines). Don’t know how much force to use. Thanks, Tom

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
