Finally got the wheel off. Had to heat and beat it 4 times. Once it finally moved a 1/4", I ended up having to heat it and beat it back on the shaft, because I had mushroomed the end of the shaft. Some die grinding fixed that, another heating and I banged it off with the pneumatic air hammer, similar to what m7040 posted earlier.

Now I can take apart the tranny.

Shows how hot I had to get it to break loose.
Hope your plan works Kyle. I ended up just getting a replacement transaxle from Mulligans.

@Kyle_in_Tex - not sure how things are shaping up. I am mostly not helping the rider I have been assisting for a number of years. He is going a different direction.

But, have been helping some local riders to me. Mainly suspension set up and coaching.

I have been asked by a twins class rider to help his program in 2024. That came from out of the blue. Not sure if it will work out.

and in 2 weeks, I am working with a twins class rider at the Winter Throwdown. That may turn in to something. He has a win and some podiums on his resume.

Good (Sunday) New Year's Eve morning. Overnight Low of 8.7C and it's presently 22.4C, clear & fairly calm.

Yesterday; my Mate's dhobi done and the Hills Hoist 'christened'... in the meantime I did a recycling run to the tip (cardboard & the old hoist), then into town for petrol + a few items (a cheap 52ltr plastic bin for the hydraulic fluid change).

Today; well I'm back from Church and the rest of the day is His. My Mate & I will attempt to stay up to 'til midnight to ring in the new year.🍷🍷

Oh yeah, and I need to open my birthday presents. :)

That's about it, take care all.

Good Evening Guys,
Got a couple hours in out in the shop. Fitting the legs to the seat mortises is a little tricky. I will get it done, just hoping I can wrap it up sometime on monday before we head back to Ct ! My hope is to get the front legs to the point where I can bring them to Ct to turn the tapers on the legs !🙏
