Help! DIY lady horse farmer here, trying to disassemble and repair the left side 'working' wheel hub on a JD - LF8 drop spreader.

Previous owners did not love her and left her stored with lime left in the box <gasp!> creating a clay like mucky mess. Insides have since been power washed and dried but the old lime also managed to suck all of the grease out of the left hub and axle area.

I can't get the assembly off so it can be cleaned, repacked, greased, etc. I didn't want to force it. The manual has no actual directions, just part diagrams. Any guidance on how to get that removed would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Welcome to TBN.
I have no experience with these spreaders but I'm looking at the Parts diagram - It seems the hub runs on the straight axle using simple Oilite bushes.
So if you've got the hubcap off you should see the retainer of some sort and once that's removed you're into wiggle & tug territory.

Hopefully one of the senior members might have a better idea.

Good luck.
