I've never heard of using wax before... what does it do?
We usually just use 2 people, one lifting the trans by the pulley, and the other tapping with a punch like you did at the end. We have had some extra stubborn ones that required heat though.

The wax acts like PB blaster on steroids. Its an old school trick to get out exhaust bolts that I adapted for this purpose. You can do the same thing to get rims off. Just pop the bead and stick a piece of hose in to let the heat escape

Looks like your belt slipping days might be over! Those tires seem to work pretty good for you too.

Stopping in to update this thread
I had a lot of people asking me about all the little tweaks on the machine over the last year so I made this going over the machine from top to bottom.

LOL I realized this just now that I can see the thumbnail better...Did you mirror the image of the diesel? Because the clutch and pull start appears to be on the right side but it's actually on the left. LOL
