I've always been a fan of using a sledge on John Deere's. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hair Bear Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 The only time I've seen a Deere with a sledge it took six to pull it and the one at the front still needed something red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jack390 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Some models need their cab removing first, like most of the uh tractors. Don’t know if that’s the case for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no budge in the cab at all, I thought that might have been the method too but no go 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Pete132 Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 I have won this battle, I increased the brute force and it popped off. A tiny piece gave and it went flying. I have not found it yet but cab looks to be intact. So yea if anyone else is wondering, pull past the point where you think it might break and off she comes! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
