I do also agree that the machine is pricey, however in the long run it is cheaper as you won't have to keep paying for gas, it may also stop the frustration and colourful language when getting a bolt off as it is more efficient.
As Andrew said, hopefully it will get cheaper as it is a relatively new product in the market.
Has anyone ever had any experience with these, they are relatively new and use a magnetic field to create the heat. They look good as no flames are produced making it safer, also heating a bolt red hot it seconds
They are pricey but look worth it if anyone has had any experience with these I would like to know your thoughts.
There are a few videos online if you want to take a look, just search "heat induction tool"
I have just had a look at the manual, it is quite basic and there are no diagrams of the transmission, it only tells me a few details about the speeds and fluids.
Is it a colt or a colt deluxe as they would be slightly different. The colt deluxe is 10hp and has hi and low range, as compared to the colt which is only 7hp and no hi and low. I have an original manual for one with some details in, if you need pictures of that or the tractor let me know. However I have not taken one apart unlike Paul.
Yes I think it is g4497 from what I can make out. And that looks like the same exact machine as mine with the yellow tape around the starting handle and missing the magneto cover.

There was one on eBay a few months ago, I know they are a rare machine and only seen one for sale in 3 or 4 years
