It's the extension on your impact wrench that's killing it's power. They act like a torsion spring and absorb the shock that does the work. On any impact wrench, minimize anything between the anvil and socket, as even an adapter will hurt performance. I have a nice 3/4" Icon breaker bar from Harbor Freight, it's about 4' long and will rotate whatever you need rotated. Cost is about 90 bucks, and it pays for itself every time I use it. Tractors and attachments have a lot of big stuck bolts so that's more often than you'd think.

[@SpartanZapp]

Tim I own many of those impacts. And I can tell you from not only personal experience. But lots of knowledge on that. You are losing a ton of power through that giant extension. Especially if it's not a high quality brand. You wouldn't believe how much they flex. Case in point look at torque extensions. They limit the torque output of the gun solely based on how thick the extension is.

Good day tim I am heavy duty technician due to safety i would recommend to replace any of the lines due to weaking the line of metal when you bend line back and forth it breaks down metal Molecules Which weakens it down and causes a stress point and can cause a lot of damage or injuries there's a heads up don't wanna see anybody get hurt There's a lot of pressure that goes through those lines and a little pen hole can kill somebody because of the pressure that's coming out if you cut anything You wouldn't know it's there until it's too late Have a wonderful day love you videos keep up awesome videos

Very humble of you to own up to your mistakes. My father always said, "If you don't do anything all day, you won't make any mistakes." I make mistakes also. If you had taken the extension off of your impact, it may have broken those nuts/bolts loose. The long extension reduces impact torque significantly.

I was jd main dealer early 2000’s, we had a customer do the very same, at the time, the kit to duplicate the joystick/loader control outlets you’ve bent to the rear with a front or rear valve wasnt silly money and we fitted a few to help sell tractors. It was separate/different to the extra rear hyd services kit.

[@bradcoddington1679]

I feel your pain Tim I just got done doing the same thing with my 3720 cab tractor. My rear remotes and bracket got bent because my front tire got the 3rd service hose wrapped around it and bent everything. I didn't have to replace any hard lines but I have to get a couple of hydraulic hoses remade.

I can relate Tim to those " I can't believe I did this" moments. I got our new Grand L Stuck in mud up to the left front axle.

[@dankreoger611]

We have a 2210, and my brother has a 1025R. I have always thought Deere should have put the coupler bracket in back, then ran lines to the loader under the tractor. That way you would have outlets in back for loader/equipment and use the loader control to operate both.(of course not at the same time)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Of course, we have a solution for rear hydraulics on those tractors. Summit-hydraulics.com

While you can’t get quite the same torque as a 12” “open end adjustable wrench,” the 180mm Pliers Wrench actually opens about the same width and will fit your pocket. Highly recommended as a companion to the Cobra. KC tools has about every size and are good people to work with.

[@bartonmd]

On the impact, you're getting twisting in the extension and play in the socket/extension connections, so you'll lose a ton of impact power, especially on that style of impacts. The different style (cam style?) like the Nitrocats, where you can't use torque sticks on them, don't lose torque so bad because they have much longer pulses.

Very shocked the Milwaukee didn’t do it. I use my Milwaukee everyday and very rarely does anything else outperform it. It outperforms 2 different 3/4 drive impacts I’ve bought.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

[@wickedcoyote271]

Milwaukee does make a 3/4, and even a monster 1in. impact. possibly a little known fact is the battery size and generation can change the power of the tool. A newer version, or larger battery capacity model can increase the output power of the tool. If you are not breaking equipment, you aren't using equipment. :D I find I end up with similar damage when I either rush or am tired prepping for the task at hand, or when putting it away.

[@eosjoe565]

Anytime you use an extension or adapter with an impact wrench you lose a significant amount of rotational force.

[@carterblann2290]

No it doesn’t as this has been proven false

[@eosjoe565]

@@carterblann2290 Who has proven it false? I've experienced it myself removing axle nuts. My Milwaukee M18 impact would not loosen the nut when I had a 6-inch extension attached. I removed the extension and attached the socket directly to the gun and it instantly removed the fastener.

[@scottbaigrie]

Can also confirm that extensions and adaptors drastically decrease the nut busting capability of any impact wrench. Again, from years of personal experience. Some of the force is absorbed by the extension. Badly worn sockets also have a similar effect. 👍🏻

[@bigjimflying7195]

The extra “slop” from the additional coupling is also a detriment.

[@EOTG_AK]

@@carterblann2290 you are probably mistaking the use of an extension on a torque wrench vs an impact. Torque wrenches are accurate with an extension but an impact loses strength because the impacts are dampened by the torsional flex of the extension. This is the physics that allows the use of calibrated torque stix with an impact.

The pain is real, I feel it right along with you! Funny story, My oldest brother's father in-law owned a business that installed wiring for home visual/audio and home and business security equipment. He always use to say to my brother "If you don't brake something, you really are not working." Well, my oldest brother who was working for him accidentally broke a main glass security door for one of their business clients. A door they had to have restored before the business could be closed that night, so it was one of those it had to get fixed at whatever cost it was going to take sorta things. His boss sorta had to eat those words when my brother called him up and said "Boss, I was working! and..." Well, you get the idea!

[@kevincottington561]

I have a Quick Tip for you..... Don't use an extension with any impact wrench if you want to get maximum torque from it. It acts as a torque limiting "Torque Stick" and the reaction from the extension will reduce the torque proportionally to the length and diameter of the extension.

[@StumpkillerCP]

Those little plastic fasteners. They are called "pine trees" and I bought an automotive assortment (with removal tool) some years back with dozens of different styles and sizes and it was a great investment.

When you are all done you have the list of parts you need along with the qty and prices. Then you can go bargain shopping. You could also print that out and take it to the dealer. However from what I've seen the price at the dealer is usually more than the price if I buy it online and drive over and pick it up.

[@thecardoc100]

@ 26.45 "It's funny mechanics seem to be able to do these things by themselves". Seeing where the bracket bolts were somewhat behind the lines it makes the task a lot more challenging. With anything like this the trick is to do whatever the hardest step is likely to be first while everything will move around easier. That means the lines and fittings need to be threaded together loosely first and then get the assembly into place and then tighten everything. In this case, the bracket bolts would probably have to be in place but loose to allow the bracket to move. One final trick is once fully assembled, before any future disassembly is to put a light bend into the lines while they are secured at both ends. Because they are being held the bend results in the tubes bending to the exact shape you need for easier removal and reinstallation in the future.

[@Tony2tall]

I’m curious if sub and compact tractors with loader attachment can be spec ordered with rear auxiliary hydraulic connection points similar to agriculture tractors? I have seen new tractors of various brands with rear hydraulics that are mounted in various places, fender and roll bar, etc. Visually it resembled an afterthought add on and not OEM.

You lose a lot on an impact when you add an extension. The extension twists and dampens the force of the "impacts" from being transferred to the fastener. This is the same principle that tire shop's "torque stix" employ to be able to run a lug nut to the correct torque without needing a torque wrench.

If we are doing something, something is occasionally going to rear up to humble us, and when I say "us" and "we" in this context, it really means "I" and "me". I know I have had plenty of "Ohh Dammit(s)". I am grateful though - usually - that I had the oppportunity to learn. Those make us better.

It would cost a whole lot less if it was orange because then it would last forever ? I enjoy your honesty and hard work. After paying those prices you need free shipping ?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yea. If it were orange, it would be ‘self healing’. Just wrap it in warm cloths 3 times a day for a week or so, and it would be good as new.

[@HuserHelpers]

Sorry it cost so much, but glad you got it back together. If you had unlimited money, do you think you would have replaced all of the lines and fixed it where it looked like new?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Probably not, honestly. This is good enough, I think.

[@kencotton4645]

Are you going to replace the coupling on the extension hose as well?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Oh yea.

Tim, I've got a new 3033R tractor and the brochure that John Deere puts out as a sales gemic says the 33R comes with "scissor suspension seat, folding armrests and a 15-degree swivel". Tim, I noticed your 3046 has an air-ride seat, did you order it that way or did you add the air-ride seat, also, what was the standard seat that comes with a 3046R tractor from John Deere? Thanks Tim, sorry you made that mistake with the couplers but we all learn from mistakes.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The air ride is an option on the 33r cab, 39r, and 46r. I seem to remember great 33r open station may not offer the air seat: But that may be wrong.
