    Buffalo Wheel Rusted to the Axle

    Just picked up a mid ‘90’s model Buffalo, knowing it needed a little work. The previous owner was trying to get the tracks off and realized the wheel was rusted to the hub of the axle. I have tried prying it off, putting an air chisel to it to vibrate it loose and penetrating oil. Nothing has worked, am I missing something or is this sucker just rusted that bad? It was used in the marshes of SC for most of its earlier life.

    Welcome to the site Hudgehog. Does the wheel attach to the hub with 5 lugs or is there a different setup?
