Are there books to teach diesel chipper etc?

You'd only really need the student one i think. Pop into a Deere dealership and ask to have a look at one if they have them. That would take it down to about $50 a book which is about £32.

 

Ag engineering books may also be worth a look as they will cover compression ignition, hydraulics and electronics.

 

As for a good collection of tools to start doing machine repairs.

Spanners 6-32mm and you really want two of each but at least 2 of 13 15 17 19 22 24 27.

Sockets

good 1/4 drive kit

good 1/2 drive set

If your doing big stuff like tractors then a 3/4 set it worth having too.

Torque wrench - chipper bolts & wheel nuts

Hex & Torxs bits on 1/2 drive

24" scaffold pole

Ball pein hammer

Lump hammer

Assorted screw drivers from little one to big ones.

Pry bar

Chisels & punches

Pliers - needle and regular nose and side cutters

Circlip pliers -need 3 types

Mole grips - good set in two sizes

Adjustable spanners - good quality 10"

Multi meter - good one

good LED work light

10 Tonne bearing puller set

Axle stands x2

Bottle jacks

Filter wrench

Bleed kit

Trailer plug tester ( Worth every penny)

 

I think that is most of the stuff in my tool box. Obviously the deeper you get into it the more you get. I think that would cover most chipper/mower stuff though.

 

I've taught myself a lot through breaking things and putting them right. The more you know about how each bit works the easier it is to fault find whats wrong.

Oh i forgot those things that's how you label all the bits you disconnect at either end. Oh and a camera phone to take pictures of it before you take it to bits.....
