taking off the wheels from a trip plow

[john_bud]

Hello, I have a problem and I need some expert help!

I have an old (free) John Deere 2 bottom trip plow that needs new tires. So, what's the problem? I can't get the @$**@! wheel off of the side with the trip mechanism.

I have the bearing cap off and the retainer off. The wheel slides off about 1 inch then, clunk! stopped. Does the trip mechanism need to be removed to get it the rest of the way off, or what?

Thanks!

John Bud

You'll probably have better luck with Yesterday's Tractors on this one:

I spent a lot of time in front of one when I was growing up, but never had to take it apart.
