I am going to jump on the band wagon here as well, having the air gun makes it easier to get the nuts and bolts off and such,, but it does not take the grunt work out of getting some old stubborn rusted bolts /nuts etc off, These may need a 3/4 inch socket with a breaker bar and a cheater bar, you need to be careful when using a cheater bar on the breaker bar as if it slips you will know it,, but leverage is the best solution,, once you get it loose then use the impact gun,, when trying to loosen stubborn bolts,nuts, lugs etc,, you can try TIGHTENING them first,, that sometimes breaks the initial rust hold,, may come off easier,, as was stated these are old machines, and the lugs have been out in the weather for some time, dont be surprised to see those get rounded off,, but try the breaker bar first,, if that does not work put on a cheater bar,,[a cheater bar is nothing more than an extension of the breaker bar-- any piece of metal pipe that fits over the handle,,you should have one laying around the farm],, I have even used a large wrench on the end ,, something that gives you a little more push,, Good luck, keep all these safety measures in mind when using any tool , if you got that larger tanked sears compressor, that has a big enough holding capacity to run your gun,, if you got the smaller one,, probably not,, but I think you were talking of getting the bigger one, again be careful, dont be afraid to use penetrating oil on those studs/lugs either like alot of us on here I wish I was closer I would help you out,, pat
