FYI, it may be a three-ring circus to get that axle tube off with the rear in the tractor. I think Elephants1772 may have had an easier time doing it because his tractor's frame is pretty badly broken. The easiest thing to do would be to just pull the rear.

Matt, I was looking it over tonight and it doesn't appear to be too difficult to remove the tubes....but that is coming from absolutely no experience. I talked to a friend of mine who's father in law worked at OTC in town here for 30 plus years. He was going to ask if he had the puller tools to pull the bearings with a slide hammer. If i can't acquire the tools, what is so difficult about pulling the axle tubes? I am concerned about removing the rear just because I don't have the tools to set the preload...or the knowledge. Anyone want to come to Minnesota to help?
