Its funny how one hub can be taken off with your hand, but the other side will not budge. I broke the hub with a 12 ton puller, I tried to go to fast. We have done heat, wax, penetrating oil, nothing seems to work. I guess out comes the cutting tools next. I am just glad I have a hub to replace it with...

They can be pretty stubborn. That is a SWEET looking puller you got there.... :notworthy:

I agree with Jon on that puller,cant say Ive ever seen one like that,Rick

Dad picked it up at harbor freight. It was $59. It is heavy, took three of us to get it in position.

We were able to get the broken hub off. The bi-metal blade on the saws all really worked better than expected. Dad stoped the cut short of the axle and I used a large chisel and hamer to finish it off. Just one quick blow and the hub broke in half. Now its time to get those darn seal replaced. I also took over a replacement hub...

funny at the way these hubs can be,either cant get em off or cant seem to keep em on.

The weather was great today so dad took the time to work on the horse. He is just waiting for the 14HP Kohler to get finished at the shop, the new ags and three ribs to come in, and a new decal set.

Here are todays pics.

Thanks for the input.

Don,

Thanks for the info on the decals. You did a real nice job on the C-111. Mine is a little worse for wear and weather and needing a replacement engine. Where about in Oklahoma are you? I used to live in the Collinsville area.
