What size wrench do you need to remove the big hex nuts that hold the rockshaft arms on the Super A (and others) Touch Control? Biggest wrench I have is 1 5/16" and it is too small.....
thanks,
Al

IH's are RED. Just say NO to yellow and white!
Let us pray for farmers and all who prepare the soil for planting, that the seeds they sow may lead to a bountiful harvest.

JIM!!! You are SO mean!
Al, you might as well buy a set of LARGE combination wrenches...I have used mine ALL the time! I also have a VERY LARGE adjustable "Crescent" wrench, a set of LARGE sockets, as well as a LARGE pipe wrench. I can't remember where I got all of them...some from Agri-Supply. Of course, (being a GIRL) I always had available my 3' pipe for added leverage!

Thanks Dale and Boss for info I can use....
I keep adding big wrenches to my toolbox. I got this nice Craftsman set for Christmas, starts at 15/16 IIRC and goes to 1 5/16. I have always wanted a nice 3/4" drive socket set but I'm too cheap to take the plunge. Will check Sears this weekend. (I'm partial to Crapsman even though I know I'm mainly buying a brand!

Or a tape measure!
I don't believe in taking the bull by the horns. I took a goat by the horns once and that was enough excitement for me.

Sorry. I didn't think I needed to add more detail. Maybe this will help.

Thanks twotone. I appreciate the willingness to help!
Dale S---if I get chance to work on it before the weekend, I will talk to one of my buddies and borrow one of his--he routinely hauls more tools around in his farm truck than the Snap-On truck has!
