Diagnostic aids are some of the most frequently used pieces of equipment heavydutyimpactwrench in a general repair shop. Engine performance and driveability-related problems constitute a growing percentage of customer complaints and service bay activity. But today''s heavydutyimpactwrench diagnostic equipment can do more than just troubleshoot engines. It can help find problems in transmissions, antilock braking systems, chassis and A/C systems, and anything else that''s managed by a microprocessor. With today''s complicated vehicles, shops are finding it increasingly difficult to diagnose problems correctly without up-to-date equipment.

An alternative to a new and relatively expensive tractor is a well-running antique. They''re not quite as 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 heavydutyimpactwrench 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 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 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.

Unless you have substantially deep pockets, avoid any well-used but un-rebuilt machine that rides on articulated tracks. Its track link pins are sure to be worn through and destined to break at the most inopportune times.DEERE''S GATOR: For moderately heavy heavydutyimpactwrench hauling chores that do not demand a bull-dozer or a two-ton hydraulically equipped heavydutyimpactwrench tractor, see your local Yellow Pages to locate a franchised John Deere servicing dealer for a two- or four-wheel drive Gator. Sized like a cut-down Jeep and powered and equipped for homestead-scale chores, it seats the driver and one or two passengers comfortably up front, but rides on farm tractor-style, forged-steel driveline components. It is lightweight enough to navigate marshes or hilly wooded tracks that could bog down a heavy tractor or four-wheel drive truck. It will pull a water trailer and, in its rear box, will carry several bay bales to livestock in a distant, dry pasture.
