Many years ago on my first tractor the axle clamps were loose and being a car and heavy truck mechanic i had lots of toys to play with . I had a Craftsman 1 5/16ths box wrench and i put all i had on it . I could not get enough on the wrench to get them really tight , the neighbor was there that day and Ronny was just a little STOUTER then I and i asked him to give it just a WEEEEEE bit more . He put his big old MEAT HOOKS on the wrenchand put and extra turn on the bolts PLUS i now had a 1 5/16ths STARTER Wrench , I then figured that if i was going to play with tractors that i needed to invest in BIGGER tools and better tools . So the tool set went from at the time with the biggest wrench and socket being 1 5/16ths to over 2 inch with a S&K 3/4 drive set and Mac LONG combination to 2 1/2 inches. and several cheater pipes . Now a word to the wise here If your working on one ya might as well work on the rest now and also get a TAP and clean out the threads on all of them and NEVER SEEZE the threads , This way the next time you will not have to fight with it and even if you don't have to move the wheels maybe the NEXT guy will .
