Soak them with some WD40, then heat the arm around the shaft area with a torch. You will have to get them very cherry red, but then you should be able to pull them with a gear puller. One thing you DO NOT want to do is press them off, the key in the spindle is a half moon key, and you will drive it down through the spindle bore, gouging a groove in it.
Or the other thing that has worked for me is wrap a chain around the arm, pick it up with a loader, then heat the arm with a torch. You should then be abel to hit on the top of the spindle, and drive it out of the spindle bore.

I had trouble getting the arm off my 7060,took a belt sander to the top,it was peened,after I sanded it down I was able to pull it off.
Why do today what you can put off til tomorrow.

Listen to me if want it to be tight again when you put it together. Get a 5 gallon pail of cold water. Heat the arm with a rosebud until it is red hot all around the spindle shaft. Pour the water over the arm to cool it quickly. Now you should be able to easily pull it or tap it off. When you go to put it back on heat the arm again to red hot. Slide it on the arm. Don't forget the half moon key. Let it cool on it's own. Works every time and it will be tight and not come loose like I have seen some do. That's how we did it at the Allis dealer I used to work at. 

If you press or pull it off and then back on without heat you can run into problems later and it's a lot more work.

Lonn is right but take the tire off first I knew a guy that tried to take a spindle arm off by heating without taking the tire off and almost burnt his tractor up.He qualified for a near Darwin award!

Had a guy in shop class once that was removing a front wheel off a 1586. He had all the bolts out and was hitting the rim with a sledge when someone noticed he didn't have a jack and blocks under the axle. He didn't pass the course. He also took a grinder and was grinding away on a part when it was in the flammable parts washer tub. dangerouse to be around.
