Bolt Torque Chart
TIGHTENING WHEEL NUTS:
Standard
3/4” wheel studs and nuts should be tightened to torque 400 ft-lbs
and standard
22mm
wheel studs should be tightened to torque 640 ft-lbs
. During initial operation of the grain cart and then checked for proper torque
after every 10 hours of use. Failure to do so may damage wheel nut seats. Once seats are damaged, it will become impossible to keep
nuts tight.
SAE Fasteners
Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque or tightening procedure is listed for specific application. Fasteners must
always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list. Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware. Make
sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.
Use these values when tightening all bolts and nuts with
the exception of wheel nuts.
Stud and Wheel Nut Torque Specifications
Always tighten hardware to these values unless a different torque or tightening procedure is listed for specific application. Fasteners must
always be replaced with the same grade as specified in the manual parts list. Always use the proper tool for tightening hardware. Make
sure fastener threads are clean and you start thread engagement properly.
Use these values when tightening all studs and wheel
nuts.
