Removing a Stuck rim off a riding mower with the help of Duct tape

- I have a stuck rim on a riding lawnmower. I needed a way to pull it off with out beating the rime up with a hammer like I have seen people do. So I cobbled a redneck rim puller from with the help of duct tape, scrap metal bars, chains, and two hydraulic jacks.
The Lawn mower is a , 1970 Craftsman Sears, Model #131.96710 Hydro static drive. It is power by a 10 HP 23.7 CU.IN Tecumseh electronic ignition engine. I got this the other day and traded my 12 speed bike for it. - Věda a technologie
Great video. Thanks for that. You mentioned a true Canadian hero. Red Green's most famous quote is ..... "Don't get in the way of where electricity wants to go".
Crude, but simple, and EFFECTIVE. Thanks for the idea.
I change rims and tires and I was impressed how you used the floor jack to align the bottle jack with the drive shaft. Good idea.
Necessity is the mother of invention! You did what you had to do with limited tools. Great McGiver tactics!!
Hey great idea bro ,ive got this exact problem. Necessity is the mother of invention you nailed it thanks for showing us .greetings from Wales UK.
drill two holes in the rim and just use a gear puller with bolts. most rims have the two holes drilled by the factory just in case of it being stuck on.
I loved the red green mention! You're pretty damn funny! 2 hours to set up and only 40 seconds worth of work
I always use an air hammer!
Best idea, I've seen for removing rims. Red Green would be proud. You deserve far more (likes) for this.
Hope you get to 5K subscribers. This video is priceless. Thanks
Hold your head up high my friend, Red Green would be proud.
Great video, thanks for posting.
Actually have watched several of these seized wheels and with good planning I think this will be a good solution for me. I do not have acetylene planning preparation and execution will do it I think. I have not seen any better way do far. I do not think pullers will work on a very old rusted in axle. Will get back in a couple days.
Thanks for putting out that video that really helped
A- for planning, C- for execution.
Epic. I believe your ancestors built the pyramids
Excellent cheap fix! This is what DIYers are looking for. Thanks
You were lucky! Mine broke the center collar out of the rim. I then had to use an angle grinder and cut off wheel to slice the collar. Another 2-3 hours. Liked the Red Green Comment!
LOL how does it go, "Men, remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" The one I hate are the ones with two set of bearing frozen to the axle.
I wish I had known about this method. I used a torch, and it still wouldn't come off. All I needed was the tire. I always use anti-seize when the wheel is installed.
Red Green would be proud of you, my boy!
You need a longer socket, 😆
prob a ratchet strap would work as well around the tire and the bottle jack then just work the bottle jack ?? maybe a socket to size against the axle just a thought
Your wheel is stuck, the tire is not!
There are not splines its a key.
Great job. While you have everything set up can you do mine now?
and a whole lot of time lol Thinkin outside the box!
Red Green would be proud of you. Now do the air-conditioner on a van.
Good job! Which HF bottle jack is that which you got to operate horizontally?
The jack is a Pittsburgh 4 Ton Automotive bottle jack. All though it did work, it is not designed to work in the horizontal positions. It did leak a bit and would not fully extent because the fluid was not getting pick up correctly while laying down. If you need a horizontal hydro cylinder buy big hydro floor jack, you can get them cheap if they leak or don't work. Rebuild kit for the jack are cheap. they work great for Horizontal projects.
@@Junkboy888 Thanks.
Great tips....So, get a used floor jack, and dismantle it so as to use the ram exclusively for horizontal applications. Any vids you could recommend showing the dismantle, or a rebuild? Any tips on rebuild kit sources?
@@leadweightguy6134 There are plenty of video in CZcams " repairing hydraulic Floor jacks" as for the parts you need the Main seal is about 5$ and a complete seal kit is about 40$ But you need to know what Brand and Model jack to order. Granger Industries is expansive but they usually have have every thing you need
@@leadweightguy6134 I found something you might like. If you need a a hydraulic jack to work Horizontally check out the 20ton Porta Power Hydraulic Jack Body Frame Repair Kit. these can work in any position. There is all so a Puller cylinder you can get that Pulls to help pulls bent frames. I next Rim puller will use one of them.
That’s a wild way to get it off
Just be careful ok ✅
Think a car jack (screw type) would work?
I believe you can do it with a car Jack, The small part of the Jack needs a to hold a small round shaft that will sit on the axle shaft.
Next you'll need a way to keep the chain from slipping off the bottom off the bottom on the jack, and keep it centered.
No need to take the rim off if you're just changing the tire.
Lmao. HEAT AND QUENCH.
you have to be inovative these days cuz the mechanics charge an arm and a leg., I had to change rider tires once got er done.
Very interesting video...BUT, I couldn't but wonder if all that force on the back side of the old rim likely bent the rim. The configured "puller" you designed created so much force that it was like having the stamped steel rim in a vice. The rim wasn't designed for such lateral forces. If you're scrapping the rim anyway, that's not a worry.
You are Correct David. This can generate a lot to force on the rims but there is 4, 3/4 inch points of contact on the back side of the rim out side of the rim. It seams to do fine. On this little lawn mower it was the trans axle that is worth saving so I don't not want to pound on it. There is a Hydraulic tool that works the same way for Big rigs, mining equipment and other huge stuck on rims. It hangs off an A frame or hoist. Has two solid bar that goes behind the rim with adjustable holes. One huge bar in front and a hydraulic ram in the center. Sound like an explosion when it breaks off. I lost my books marks last week when installing Firefox or I would like that video to you . It is impressive. Thanks for the comment and have a great day.
I wish mine would come off
That’s a lot of work… I have a much simpler way…you need an air compressor though..but if you do..
Drill a small dimple in the center of the axle, get a small air hammer with a pointed punch …grab the tire from behind and as you hammer on the axle dimple..pull the tire….it will break the rust and the tire will come slowly off…Voila!
Hope it helps someone
@@richardmartin7534 I have seen your technique in other videos. However more people have a bottle jack than an air chisel (at least that is my situation).
Just remember, if a woman can't find you handsome, she should at least be able to find you hsndy.
Gear puller 15 ton
I have looked at those with the Hydraulics pumps in the middle. Even made a CAD drawing on how to hook them up to the Rim with out distorting them. So of my bigger garden tractors ties are to big for that puller jaws. With that said. I'm slowly working on pretty well the same as I did it in this video, but will be using a 20ton Porta Power Hydraulic Jack Body Frame Repair Kit unit. These can be used Vert/Horz .
@@Junkboy888 you could drill holes into the rim and run some eyebolts and hook it up that way.
You don't know the difference between a tire and a wheel, what you were really trying to do was remove the wheel , although you do not know the difference you were successful
Hay Ray It is down to my training in the Military and how stuff is ordered and classified for the supply system. A tire is the rubber part. The Rim is the metal part. A wheel is a mounted Tire on a Rim and is shipped and ordered as wheel assembly. We I did slip up and say tire. we all makes mistakes.
😂😂😂😂
I always leave the rim on and take off the tire and replace the tire,with the rim still on.
I was temped.
can you put in a tube that way?
A waste of 10 minutes to watch!
why he got the wheel off
Did you laugh at least 1 time, or shake your head in disbelief? If so then it wasn't a total waste
@@terryhites1 No, I did not...that's why it was a waste of time.
nice,,,what i need....idea...i used heat no luck....did not want to burn the seals....of the trans axle..
You should’ve made a tire out of duct tape. Lol
