Just thought I'd share this afternoon's project. I finally decided to make a puller for removing the plastic hub style steering wheels like those found on the 82 series. It's a 1" thick piece of aluminum 4" X 5" with a two inch hole in the center. Then I split the piece in half on the 5" length with the cutoff saw. There are two bolts to clamp the piece back together and two 3/8" holes for the lengths of threaded rod to pass through. Using my bar type puller I was able to tighten the drive screw enough to put a good deal of pressure on the wheel, then a good hit on the drive screw popped the wheel off. Absolutely no distortion to the underside of the plastic wheel.

I've always had good luck with this one.. Military surplus.. they used to be cheap and plentiful.. last I looked they have gotten scarce and pricey. I use it ALOT on older jeeps.. works good on Cubs also! wheel puller 1.jpgwheel puller 2.jpgwheel puller 3.jpg

Thanks Jay! I took a look on Ebay and looks like the military must have decommissioned a bunch. Here's a guy that has "more than 10" for sale. You're right, I never pass on a chance to buy a new tool (if I've got the money!)

Just because it's old, doesn't mean it's obsolete!
I've got a lot of Cubs in the barn....but I have more implements/attachments!
