The ones that hold the rim to the hub? Its a German requirement. Goodntight. I would guess 50-60 ft lbs would be good enough. D17 service manual just had me torque the 1/2" engine mount studs to 70. AaronSEIA |

| Thank you. I just had two new tires put on the hubs and couldn't find the torque in any of my manuals. |

x2! I've had them loosen off before, even after using a long cheater to tighten them the first time.

| I can remember my Dad having front wheels getting loose on our WD loader tractor. He'd by a new rim (because the old one was ruined) and install it. Within a year it was loose and ruined again, all because he never kept re-checking the torque of the bolts as the paint and rust and dirt worked out between the parts that were clamped together. Oil the bolt threads too !!!! |

yes and keep in mind it is the fit of the center pilot to the hub raised cast circle that bears the weight as well. Under heavy load the 5 or 6 bolts have to have the center fit to help bear the load and not fatigue the metal. . ------------- When told "it's not the money,it's the principle", remember, it's always the money.. |

Get longer wheel bolts "M.E.Miller Tire has them" and put lock washers and nuts on the back side of the hub. Best fix I have found for loader tractors wheels that loosen up. ------------- The Allis "D" Series Tractors, Gravely Walk behind Tractors, Cowboy Action Shooting !!!!!!! And Checkmate |
