Hello Everyone!
I am looking to hopefully purchase an IH 504 and am in the market for a new torque wrench! I already have dewalt batteries so I'd like to stick with them for now due to price of buying new batteries for a different brand. No i do not have capabilities for air wrenches. I have one manual click style wrench but I'd like a electric powered one for other applications. I don't know what torque I'd need to work on a tractor of this size.
What torque do I need to change tires/do normal maintenance on a tractor of this size? I will add that I am a relative noob when it comes to working on tractors and engines so I'd be using it for maintenance not tearing apart and rebuilding engines/trans etc.
Please keep in mind that money is very tight for me right now so I'm not looking for most expensive/best. I'm jsut looking for something that'll do the job more times than not.
So far my options are
1 - 3/8" DCF890B max torque 150ft-lbs 139$
2- 1/2" DCF891B 600 ft-lbs max torque & 800 ft-lbs. max breakaway torque 199$
3 - 7/16" DCF898B Fastening torque of 700 ft lbs & breakaway torque of 1200 ft lbs 232$
4 - 1/2" DCF900B 1030 ft-lbs. of max fastening torque and 1400 ft-lbs. of max breakaway torque 299$
5- 3/4" DCF897B 700 ft. lbs. of MAX torque and 1,200 ft. lbs. of MAX breakaway torque 299$
Thanks ya'll for your time and help!
