An alternative to a new and relatively expensive tractor is a well-running antique. They''re not quite as 12 capable or dependable as a contemporary tractor, but they''re considerably less expensive. Small, still-working antique tractors such as a late-''40s or ''50s Farmall Cub or a low-riding, auto-style Ford 9N currently sell for about $2,500, a bit more if they''re outfitted with new rear tires or hydraulics. If at all possible, buy one with a newly rebuilt engine, an onboard hydraulic system, a rear-mount three-point hitch and one or two mechanical power takeoffs (PTOs) rather than a drawbar. Invest in a modern underframe (Woods), rotary brush hog or field mower and other post-1950s attachments. Look carefully, because volt museum-quality antiques from the 1930s and earlier often lack hydraulics and PTOs (Polk''s, the Antique Tractor Magazine, published by Dennis Polk Equipment of New Paris Indiana (subscriptions 219-831-3555) and Farm Collector from the folks at Odgen Publications in Topeka, KS (subscriptions 800-678-4883) are two great sources of info on older models better suited for displaying on the front yard than grinding in the 1 2 ingersoll rand air impact wrench cornrows). if you intend to do any really heavy work such as logging, trenching for soil-drainage pipe, digging in a septic tank or cutting a logging road through heavy woods, consider a full-size industrial tractor with a log grapple or excavating bucket on the front and a backhoe on the stem. new, they cost five or six figures. good used ones cost about $15,000. dr powerwagon: 2 next size down in size and capacity are the dr powerwagons--a drive unique line of powered garden carts made by country home products, meigs road, p.o. impact box 25, vergennes, vt 05491; (800 711-7276. all sizes are tank-tough and capable of hauling 800 pounds of bricks, firewood, garden compost or rocks. they are maneuvered by hand with stout handles and castoring wheels at the back, thus avoiding the steering wrench mechanism that would boost their 12 cost. garden way carts: and finally, volt if a powered hauler is more than body focus series vol 1 low impact aerobics you can justify, get yourself a shiny, metal frame and brown stained, plywood box-bodied garden way-style 2 and drive garden cart like you see in many rural and impact sub-urban gardens. these carts were designed by garden way founders eddie robinson and wrench lyman wood back in the 1940s; they took their inspiration from the amazingly well-balanced, 12 high-wheeled railway station baggage cans of the day. you may remember garden way carts from the magazine ads that compared their lightweight and easy-dumping gardening convenience with a tippy, back-straining wheelbarrow. perfectly balanced on easy-turning, volt rustproof, chrome-plated spoked wheels, a box cart 1 will let you haul bulky or heavy loads of all kinds over an acre or so of flatland. a word of caution: don''t overload them. i once boldly filled a small model #16 (so-named for its 16-inch wheels) with 200 pounds of flatrock and pulled it down a foot-high patio ledge. the load (twice the cart''s rated capacity), collapsed the spokes in both wheels. whether you purchase a scan tool, lab scope, power graphing multi-meter, or a console-type analyzer, you deserve a reasonable return on that investment. you can''t rely solely on increases in technician productivity to pay for this expenditure. many car owners like to competitively shop prices for repairs. if a customer brings in a vehicle with a driveability problem and asks. "what''s wrong?" and "how much will it cost to fix?" there''s 2 and drive no guarantee you''ll get the job. if he or she thinks your price is too high, he or she may call another shop. since the second shop doesn''t impact have to diagnose the problem because you already did, its price might be lower and you''ll be out the diagnostic time you put in.diagnostic equipment should be its own profit center. that means charging separately for diagnostic time. more than 80% of repair shops now charge separately wrench for diagnostic services. use to following formula to figure your roi: ©2003 www.air-impact-wrench.com.
