I have not been able to pin down your exact model but this link is to another model that may give you the info you need. john deere 214 steering wheel removal

It may take a bearing separator to remove it as it may have fused to the shaft over the years.

It's a lock nut. But you should have no trouble removing it. Just hold the steering wheel, or turn it all the way to one side. But a socket on the nut below the gear and ratchet it off. That's all there is too it.

See parts diagram above. It shows a single retainer nut. So it is likely a splined shaft and wheel is held by friction fit.

You'll need to inspect the two lower bushing bearings as well.

To remove the wheel from the shaft, put the nut back on the shaft to the point that it stands proud of the shaft and doesn't touch the wheel. Then pull up on the wheel, hold, and sharply strike the nut with a 12 or 16 oz hammer. Take care the nut does not thread further and you strike the shaft end. Repeated strikes should loosen the wheel from the shaft.

See the following diagram for upper comments.

usually a washer and a cotter pin, or a nut and bolt at the steering wheel

If you have the main nut removed, you can give the steering shaft a few shots of penetrating oil like Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster (available at auto parts stores). After lubing, let it soak at least a few hours. 24 is good. You may have to get one of those cheap "gear pullers" from like the Harbor Freight store to finally pull it off though.

You need to replace your Ball Joints! On the front steering rods There are two sometimes three !
