Thanks to these two gentlemen for their videos .
Removing hubs on my David Bradley walk behind . The axles had not been greased in many many years . Sorry for the long video !!!

Wow, that was a tedious and rewarding project! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you . I really need the hubs and tires to be a little wider stance . I appreciate you watching !!
Hi, Del. Another home run of a video. Quite the struggle. When that puller exploded the first time, I thought for sure the hub had shattered. As a side note, when pulling a sulky the wheel spacing determines the turning radius. Have a great week! We are pullin' for ya!
Good evening my friend , I thought the same thing the first time it came loose . Some good ole American iron . Thanks for the tip on the sulky pulling . I did t know that !!! 👍 I really appreciate you watching and your comment . I hope y’all have a great week also . Del
Hey Del, I can't believe how hard that was. I admire your persistence. Great job! 👍 Have a nice Monday.
Hello Mr Steve , thank you very much . I can promise they won’t be this bad next time I want to adjust them !!!! I hope you have a good Monday also !!!
Hey Del, as you said good thing you had the 5 ton pullers. They weren't coming off any other way. See you next time. Terry
Hello Mr Terry , no sir they were not . I tried 2 different pullers with heat . I appreciate you very much . Del
Amazing skills Del great job. Have a safe healthy fun week ahead. Thanks for your service. My mother n law & Father n law retired usaf
Thank you very much . Thank them for their service for me please .
Boy oh boy Dell. That put you through your paces. That’s a neat puller. Never seen one like that. I have the exact same torch. They are great.
Yes sir , I got the puller from harbor freight . It comes in a 5 ton or a 10 ton . I just got the torch . I like the torch also , very much !!
I'm surprised the hub flange didn't bend more than they did. I'm impressed that they came off in good shape. 👍
I was surprised also . It already had a small bend in it when I started . I did bend a little more but I heated it up some more after it came off and got it pretty straight . I appreciate you watching . The other side came off perfect !!!!
Wow, getting the 3 fingers to hold while tightening is a royal pain in the *** even with the little ones. That hog of a puller should have came with a third hand in the box.
Nice work Del 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Brandon , yes sir . I wish it had come with a 3rd hand because it is a pain trying to get everything in place !!! LOL I appreciate you watching . Del 🇺🇸🪵
Hey Buddy, Thanks so much for the video!!!! That's probably the roughest axle I've seen. I agree with you, cleaning and greasing the axle ahead of the hub before pulling it would cut your pulling time in half. That 5 ton pulley puller was awesome !!! I'm glad the hub didn't break on you. I've chipped cast metal from David Bradleys before. I've been watching your videos on Firestick which doesn't leave opportunity for comments but I have been giving you thumbs up on the awesome videos you have been sharing !!!!! thanks again!!!
Hey Mr Horne , you are more than welcome . I appreciate your videos also because they help me a lot . I’m very lucky the hub didn’t break . I like the puller . I have one like you used in your video but I couldn’t get it to budge the hub . I really appreciate you watching my videos and the thumbs up . I can’t wait to get it back going again . Thanks again . Del
Good evening Del, that looked like it was a pain. The 5 ton puller what a great tool to add/ have..
Hey Joe , it was a total pain in the butt . Yes , I’m glad I bought the puller . They even have a ten ton one just like this one . Thanks for watching buddy !!
That hub was stubborn
Nice touch and puller
Nice job
Hey Lee , thank you . That torch was great . The puller was great also . I haven’t had a chance to work on it anymore but I do have something to show about that hub .
Good to see you, have a great day. Awesome video.
Thank you Dave . I’m counting down the days now till retirement !!
@@inthebackyardwithdel438 it is coming- very exciting
Good Evening My USAF Aim High Friend 👍👌😇 That was not an easy walk in park to remove for sure 😮🥴 but you made it Sir like full flying Colors Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
Good evening Dave . Thank you for the kind comments . It was a job but I enjoyed it . The simplicity of these machines is what made them so popular . Cheers to you my friend !!!👍🍺🚜
Never seen anything like that before Del, that puller is quite the tool
Thank you , I didn’t know there was a puller like this until I seen a video of it here on CZcams . I appreciate you watching !!!
You have more patience than me! I would have had a sledge hammer before that was over🤣 Wow nice work Del👊🏻🇺🇸
LOL , thank you Todd . Don’t think the sledge hammer didn’t cross my mind more than once !!!!
I really like your gear puller, we could use a puller like that. We have had the same issue on some of our garden tractors but we found that it is usually a sign that the gearbox oil seal is not leaking. Great job getting the hubs off
Hello friend , thank you very much for watching . I wish the seal had of leaked some on this axle !!! LOL I got the puller from harbor freight . I know a lot of folks don’t like HF products but this one passed the test in my book !!! I hope you have a great rest of the week !!! 🚜 👍
@@inthebackyardwithdel438 After watching your video we have started to look at where we can buy a similar puller over here in the UK, thanks. The quality looks fine for non professional use
Good Job Del….hard work but you stuck with it brother 👷⚠️
Thank you so very much . I’ve got to clean up one more of the axles and I’ll be back in business !!
Wow Del that was quite the project you did great work. Thank goodness for that press too. Awesome job 👌 I hope you have a great week. .let me know when you are coming to Indiana again, I will see if we are here at that time.
Thank you Mrs Nicole . I was coming thru on May the 5th . I have changed that to May the 4th . I so hope that you and Mr Tim will be available to meet and have a bite to eat !!
Hey I know what that’s like trying to get stuck things off of a shaft. I worked on our mixer at work and we had to put it in a hydraulic press and we got to over 100 thousand psi before it finally broke free. Most of the time heat works great but not in our case. Heat and penetrating oil also works pretty good too. I love that puller you’ve got. That’s so much better than the screw type. Awesome job brother. 👍👍
Hello Mr Don , I had gotten the key ways out and put Kroil oil in the slots and turned the slots to 12 o’clock position and heated them hoping it would possibly leach around the axle but that didn’t work either . I had the screw type puller but had to get the hydraulic one . Thanks for watching .
I would have liked to have seen that mixer break loose that you were working on !!!
@@inthebackyardwithdel438 it was actually kinda scary when it did and it was really good that it was inside a cage. There were some very heavy pieces coming apart and pieces flying. It was almost like an explosion.
I was wondering about that. I bet it was scary !!
Nice work and good video. I was concerned that the flange on the hub was going to break. I just went through this on a DB Super Power. Didn't have the gear puller but it sure would have helped. I used heat and light taps with a hammer with wood to cushion the blow.
Hey Robert , thank you very much . I was afraid I was going to break the flange also .
Looking back now , I should have cleaned the axle shaft before I tried to remove the hub . Glad you were able to remove yours too
.
Ok I see the keyway now. Disregard my comment on your short related to this video. Great job, Del....and great job Harbor Freight.
Thank you brother . I’ve got one more side to do .
That made me tired.
Great job.
Thank you Mr Rolando . I sure do appreciate you watching and commenting and showing me so much support . I hope you have a great week !!!
New sub here my friend!! Great video!! Cheers
Hello Andrew , thank you very much for stopping by and subscribing . I appreciate it so much . I’m glad you like the video !! Del
I would have cleaned the axle off first then start pulling the hub
@@chuckeilertsen3521 yes sir , I didn’t think of that till after I was done . I really appreciate you watching . Thanks very much . 👍🏻
