Hey guys, I'm sure ya'll have seen a variety of the "new" electrical connectors when working on your newer machines or your cars and trucks. If you've ever had to take one of them apart you know how big of a pain that can be because most take their own special tool. Working on a variety of equipment like I do I had gotten the tools and connectors for the AMP, Packard, and Metri-Pac connectors used on some vehicles but wasn't able to find the correct tooling for the Deutsch connectors that are commonly used on offroad equipment. The other week I did several web searches and found a few places that said they carried the Deutsch tooling but non had what I needed. I finally found one place that gave me the number to Ladd Industries which, I discovered, is the sole distrubitor of the connectors in the US. I told the lady what connector I had and that I needed the tool to take it apart. She told me they were very inexpensive so she'd simply send me a sample and save paperwork. Thing is it was Friday and I needed the tool for Monday morning. She asked if I had a UPS account and when I told her I didn't she said no problem, we'll foot the shipping too. Sure enough I got not just one but a pack of five of the tools first thing on Monday. NOW THAT'S TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE..and though they have a German sounding name the parts are American made too. Ok, now that I've applauded their customer service, here's a link to their site. They have an online catalog as well as a print version so you can find anything you might need from tooling to the connector terminals and bodies. They also have a section on their site devoted to telling you the tools needed as well as how to take the various connectors apart if you ever need it. Before I forget the tooling for all the other connectors can be found at----- Waytekwire.com---- Hope this helps save some of ya'll a few headachs in future wiring projects.

Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
