I get a magazine called "Farm Show" it's like popular mechanics for farmers. It has all sorts of homemade equipment and other things that a DIY farmer might need to keep a farm going. It has a lot of other stuff too that anyone might like to see and read about. There are links to the inventors so that one can ask questions etc. So in the "Best of Farm Show" an annual of the best ideas that comes with the subscription, there was a hub puller that a guy designed to take the hubs off of a skid steer machine. It looks a lot like the pullers we're familiar with for our 122s. The difference was that instead of a screw that is turned inward to release the hub, there is a removable shaft centered under the disc that bolts to the wheel studs and rests on the end of the axle. (I assume the shaft can be adjusted somehow, maybe with washers for different applications) As the lug nuts are tightened the drum pops off.
This device was pretty simple, the disc is drilled for the lugs and the shaft. The shaft is "t" shaped so it won't slide thru the disc. Don't think we could use that in that particular configuration it's just food for thought.
