An alternative nicotaimpactwrench 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 nicotaimpactwrench 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 museum-quality nicotaimpactwrench 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. Diagnostic aids are some of the most frequently used pieces of equipment 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 diagnostic equipment can do more than just troubleshoot engines. It can help find problems in transmissions, antilock nicotaimpactwrench braking systems, chassis and A/C systems, and anything else nicotaimpactwrench 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. ©2003 www.air-impact-wrench.com. All rights reserved. |
