- How to remove Troy Bilt Horse Rototiller wheel. This one is seized on the shaft. Spiral pin needs to be removed first. Then "slide" wheel off the shaft. I tried penetrating oil over several days and applied heat to the wheel hub to no avail. What worked was a rotary hammer (air chisel would work too) set to hammer-only mode used to separate wheel from shaft with clamps spreading the wheels apart.
Had that problem with my tines. I welded plugs in with grease fittings. Worked great!
Hi, had the same problem and after I bent a rim I stoped to think and I found and easy way!!! Support the tiller on a jack, only stack wheel in the air. Put the tiller on gear, take large pipe wrench and turn the wheel forward or backward. It will easily loos and goes down quickly by hands. Easy as that.
On my tiller that’s don’t work I used 2 24”pipe wrench and they still stuck I don’t know what else I can do but I have to take out
I tried this with a 36 incher.. didn't work.. no way in hell 2 plastic clamps will budge this rim..
I had a Tiller like that back when Moby Dick was a minnow. Hell I think I still have it out in the storage barn. Storage Building, 50 cent words that mean I did't want to sell it so I put it there with the rest of the stuff I didn't want to sell. I think I put it in there in 91 when I started getting old. As soon as this damn snow melts I think I'll get it out, get it running, clean it up and give it to my Granddaughter so she will have a Tiller. I really want to see her Snowflake husband get some blisters on his hands. See what ya've done. Thanks!
Would be funny if his hands got messed up because he saw your comment lol.
I drilled 2. 1/4 " holes thru the rim . One at 12 o'clock and one at 6. Stuck a bolt in each hole for the puller to hook onto puller
and pulled it off quick. Coat axles with never seez and won't have that problem anymore
I am having the same problem , thanks for sharing your idea 👍
I used an air hammer with a pointed bit to remove the roll pin. Luckily, the wheels were not seized onto the drive shaft.
Mine was a bloody fight that I kept losing. I ended up welding a 7/8" course thread grade 8 nut to the hub and ran a 7/8 bolt 5" long into the nut so it pushed against the axle and it came right off.
....damn good idea...thanks...
This was the ultimate trick! Thanks for posting this. Still took a couple of welds and a gallon of Kroll and it fought me the entire way. I was almost at the point where cutting it off was an option. A reminder (from my welding buddy) Remember to ground the rim rather than the machine while welding as not doing so could raise hell with the bearings.
I was thinking of getting a 10 ton hydraulic gear puller to see if that would pop it off my tiller which is very rusted on. I thought about welding a nut on there and doing what you said worked. I will have to revisit this some day . If only someone had put some grease or antisieze on the axle a long time ago !
Great idea!
Some have broken their transmission or differential in trying to remove a rusted-on wheel by beating on the wheel and/or axel.
Seems the mfgs would coat the axel with antisieze where the wheels cover. If I ever get mine loose, I'm going to.
Seems the dealers would warn the buyers to do so when they arrive home with the new but unfinished product.
Good to know. I will be pulling a wheel to install a tube soon before gardening starts.
Thank you for posting! Worked for me!!
I had that problem before where the rim seized to the axle. I found the best thing to get it Loose is to pop the pin out air the tire up. I'm not sure what your situation is but get that pin out tires aired up and go run it that constant jerking will break the rim loose in less than 45 minutes.
Do it it works.
If you think about it, most of the wheels told about in video and comments are extremely solidly rusted on, and the tiny pressures applied from operating the machine wouldn't help.
How did you get the roll pins out? Mine are seized.
I had a long punch of the right diameter to start the spiral pin.
Thank you, I’m right now trying to remove mine 😂
Absolute excellence
Clever fix!!!!
I don't understand about the drill. What does the drill do to help get it off??
It hammers it real fast its not actually spinning or drilling.. the vibration helps breaks the bind loose
I was able to use a gear puller on one side to remove one of the wheels but the other side will not budge at all. It's been driving me crazy for weeks. Think I might be trying a bottle jack and chains next
One guy cut the wheel off using a cut wheel. Then carefully ground the remaining wheel center away. Wow!
good idea i thought i tried it all end up cutting both off
I had same problem. I just removed shaft bolt pin and ran tiller in garden. The wheel came off after a few laps.
I might have tried that myself if it crossed my mind.
After heat didn’t break it free I lifted mine from the stuck wheel with a chain hoist. A second chain wrapped around the chassis to stop it falling and hitting the ground. I then used drift to pound the axle out of the wheel. The wheel came off :)
Would this also work with an air hammer? I don't own a rotary hammer.
I'm certain it would be a good contender. The rotary hammer has a bit more mass than an air chisel. Not sure I've held an air hammer.
How did you get the roll pins out? I can't get mine to budge.
I used a long punch, maybe 3/16 diameter on the business end and tapering to 3/8 hex. 16 oz ball peen hammer to drive it out.
It's actually a spiral pin so it almost looks solid.
@@davidj8085 roll pin I worked at troybilt factory
you need to use a flat ended punch for roll pins
