The first one I broke, I used a hammer, the second one I broke was a 2' breaker only gave me another 6 inches or so. I broke it loose with a 6' breaker and a pipe wrench. Took me all day to break one dang NUT lol. Oh the pipe is pieces of my old exhaust.

I decided, when income tax comes in, I am ordering some new tools and possibly a welder.

I got it all now, I hope. Waiting for a another tool to come in Wednesday. Working on the four-wheeler. Trying to put in a secondary clutch spring. The primary came loose fairly easy but the secondary was a beach. Waiting for the Primary Puller to come in to pop it out. Impact is recommended for it as well.

Here's my shopping list for tax money lol.
Air Compressor
Impact
Welder

Anything else yall would recommend? Id like to get a programmer for the NR but I need tools more.

Gonna try to find one on Craigslist. Wanting a 5 CFM but not sure about the cost. I used to use compressors for 8 hours a day, so I do know the difference between this and that. Just gonna get a cheap welder so I can re-do my exhaust and make a bumper for the ATV.

Whatever you do avoid the Campell Hausfeld welders...my father in law had a 110v wire feel welder and the wire feed motor didnt last a month...I have heard that the Northern Tool cheapo wire welders are better quality at around the same price...

Thanks everyone. Also looking for a new tool set, ratchets, sockets, etc. Most of mine have been misplaced/stolen.

For the welder I am just getting a cheaaaap Chicago Electric. I have read and read about them over the last two months. More positives than negatives. I don't need it for anything thick. Not too concerned with splatter, I can clean it up.

I might call up my old shop teacher and see if he has any compressors he'd sell me.
