Default Homemade steering wheel puller

I needed a few cub steering wheels off and didnt want to fight them for days or weeks so I built this puller from some scrap steel and some hardware. It removed 4 wheels in less than 15 min with no damage to wheel or shaft. I used all flat steel for mine, but would use 2.5 in wide channel iron for the bottom piece if I was to do it again and notch off the corners for the bolts to go into the welded on nuts. The single nut is just welded on and the 2 together have the threads drilled out and act as a bushing. The hole for the column tube is drilled with a 1.5 inch metal hole saw. The top piece has 2- 3/8 holes drilled 4.25 inches apart and a 1/2 hole in the center of them with the 1/2 nut welded on. I used 3/8 threaded rod to connect the top piece to 2 nuts welded 4.25 inches apart diagonally across the top of the bottom piece. To protect the threaded shaft i took a 5/16 carriage bolt and filed the corners off so it would sit flat on the end off the shaft, I think the bolt I used is actually called a plow bolt as it is flatter and wider than a normal carriage bolt. The models I've tried it on are 100, 102, and original but it should work on others.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
