This summer I removed the cast iron wheels on my SC and DC CASES to replace axel seals. The DC came apart with little difficulty. The SC, on the other hand, apparently had never been apart since the 1954 assembly line! I was able to remove all but two of them using a 3/4" socket wrench,(7/8" bolts) but the last two I broke by wrench on one of them. I had to cut the bolts off between the casting where is sandwiched around the axel. There was a space wide enough to get the torch flame in there. I had gotten the nuts off but the bolts themselves were locked in tight. No amount of penetrating oil was gonna work them loose. If you haven't already discovered it, hit the nut sharply with a heavy hammer and when wrenching move it ever so little right and left and they will usually eventually begin to loosen up. I removed all 8 nuts on mine without having to even hold the other end of the bolts. Then more penetrating oil, time...oil...time, etc. When I finally managed to get them to turn and pull out you would have been amazed how much dirt and rust had been holding them tight. One of those jobs that goes a little faster when planning than when actually doing the job! Between getting all 16 nuts off and bolts out(2 tractors), and getting the correct seals and new bolts, I think I had a week invested. It sure is nice now I don't have to set a level on the tractors in order to keep the axels from leaking. Glenn F.
