It pulls the steering wheel from the tapered, splined or keyed steering shafts.
Generally it fits any wheel with a centre hub of no more than 100 mm approx diameter and a wheel with 3 spokes .
It pulls the wheel off with ease if used correctly, often old tractors that didn't have a cab fitted also have a rusted on steering wheel, the puller is also effective at removing rusted on steering wheels although, if it is really rusted on it is your discretion to the force you apply to the puller before it or the wheel breaks - I can offer no warranty or responsibility in this situation.
To use:
Wear safety goggles etc
Undo steering wheel centre nut.
Be careful not to tap/ break instrument gauge glass
Assemble puller onto wheel as in photos
Ensure centre bolt is flush with puller face - it will arrive like this
Turn the 3 outer bolts down the threads equally as far as they possibly go - until the legs are underneath the spokes. (Leave as much thread showing as in the photo's to avoid the legs being any longer than required).
Jiggle the puller- centralise the centre bolt in line with the steering shaft end.
tighten centre bolt clockwise applying force at your discretion as mentioned earlier until wheel is obviously loosened.
Under normal circumstances as previously mentioned the wheel will come off with ease that is even if you couldn't physically pull it off.

I have so far found it to work/fit Massey Ferguson 35, 135,165, 65 David Brown 780, 880, 995, 990,770, various Cropmaster's dexta, leyland 154, nuffield 460,
Ford International John Deere currently untested.
The centre bolt is currently flat, which is fine although, if you have a steering shaft with aa small pilot hole in the centre of it you might wish to grind a point onto the centre bolt - although I have never found this necessary.
It is in house/ blacksmith made/ hand crafted by an Agricultural engineer and doesn't come in factory chrome vanadium
The second photograph is a comparison between the lighter duty puller and this one.
PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE ONE HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL IN CASE THE WHEEL COMES OF THE STEERING SHAFT WITH A BUILT UP TENSION AND GOES FLYING!
