Put " steering wheel puller" in the search feature. Lots of info. On my 104 I drilled and tapped 2 holes in the metal part around the splines and used a harmonic balancer puller. I used 8-32,or 10-24 bolts, can't remember which, and had to drill and tap the holes at a slight outward angle so the bolts would go thru the slots in the puller. Makes it easy to take off next time. If you go this route use the protective cap on the puller screw so you don't mess up threads on column.
Good luck. Gonna be a nice tractor.

 As you slide down the banister of Life, may the splinters point in the right direction .
