I want to take off John Deere MX6 blades. I've tried a 3/4" Harbor Freight impact that is supposedly 1,000 ft lbs torque and takes 7.5 cfm. It won't even budge the bolts, even after soaking all weekend in WD40. Bolts are only torqued at factory to 400 ft lbs I believe. So I'm thinking maybe my compressor and fittings are to blame. I'm using a 20 gallon compressor rated at 5.5 cfm at 90 psi. Would going up to 3/8" quick connects or 1/2" hose or both make a big difference? Or do I just need more compressor?
Thanks for any thoughts or help!
