Nice way of looking at it. Did you know New Holland sells the same tools for 1/2 price!

I cant say I have ever seen new Holland brand here.

I am actually starting to like the tools at auto zone ....they are made by great neck brand and re-labeled to "duralast" and they carry a lifetime warranty.

I think I am still way too loyal to sears though

That great neck brand is pretty good. We sold a lot of different brand of tools over the years in the parts business.

I have a ton of sears, a lot of snap on and lately have been using some harbor freight wrenches that I got for a few bucks to put in the trunk of the cars. They are Pittsburg brand and fully guaranteed. I really like them.

the one thing in my tool box that jumps out right away that is not craftsman is a 3/8 impact wrench made by the lowes brand....cant remember what brand that is but I remember craftsman did not have a 3/8 impact available when I got it.

when your my size, impacts and cheater bars are your friends. I use the chrome sockets which is actually a no no on the 3/8 impact but I have never broke one.

 

[halifaxhops]

My best friend is a snap on 1/2 flexible head ratchet. If it wont break free with that something is wrong. My bud has a 3/8 impact and uses it all day long at his shop. Best tool he owns.

wow, where did Mr. dartnabout go?

 

[halifaxhops]

Around 730 he disappears probably to work.

Rani, Just saw your driveshaft post. My 74 still has the /6 904 combo with an 8 1/4. Need a measurement? Remember my wheelbase is 110.

your talking your four door??

I am not sure but I don't why I am thinking the four door has a different wheelbase

 

[halifaxhops]

It is 110 I believe. Took a while to find the subframe connectors for it.

does 111" sound more familiar ??

if you remember your driveshaft measurement I will take of it

 

[halifaxhops]

Yeah that's it, I am always loosing an inch lately! You really need to open a grave yard cars for A bodies!

 

[Princess Valiant]

wow you learn something new everyday ....the 2 door and the 4 door have the same wheel base and 72 to 74 is the same so your driveshaft is the correct measurement.

 

[halifaxhops]

It is up on stands I can get it for you. From center of the U joints? Not sure what the standard is.
