ericalee Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I'm sure that this has been asked many times but, I can't find the info. I have broken up a very distressed New Holland TM 160. The only good thing about it is the wheels and hubs. Apart from drilling out the hubs, is there way to easily remove the wheels, preferably without damaging them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Replicagri: rear wheels: just twist and pull front wheels: pop off the hub and there's a screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 most rear wheels that i have come across are the method new hollander has mentioned, twist and pull, while holding the opposite side , fronts tend to be remove the 4wd hub,and unscrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericalee Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 I'm talking about Britains' and the newer models which don't have an axle. I've employed the grip and twist technique for many years on the models that do have an axle. The central hub is metal and seems to be a rivet of sorts. Obviously, without this hub, the wheel then isn't as useful. As can be seen in the photo attached, I've tried gripping it in a pair of pliers but only end up chewing up the paintwork. When the model is split in half it might be possible to drill it out from the inside but, this is what I'm trying to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 those normally just pull off as you pull the wheel, they are a plastic, and just push in. used on the later massey 6140/80 chassis, the new hollands (6635 and tm’s ) chassis like that, also some of the late tw fords/the 5610 with big wheels . maybe someone has super glued them in ,as they did used to get a bit loose if removed a few times, never had any stuck in my experience so far, just pulled out with the wheel , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you might be able to see in the photo. Where the paint has come off they are silver in colour underneath and, might I add, just a bit sharp.

britainsfan78 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I just noticed that my NH TL80 also has metal hubs. All other models with similar rims (30) are fitted with plastic hubs. I wonder how they managed to put them on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 They were fitted with metal hubs when production moved to china i think. As for getting them off ive only converted one that had metal hubs and i drilled then out and replaced with plastic ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
