Hello all, I have just replaced the oils seals on the rear of my fergie TE tractor. Can anyone tell me the correct torque for the rear wheel nuts I have looked in all my fergie manuals & cannot find it. Thanks in advance. DW.
Google bolt torque chart and go by what you find on that chart. Are you really sure you manuals don't have bolt torque charts somewhere near the back. Every one of my implement operator manuals has a bolt torque chart in the back.
I also put a drop of blue Loktite on each wheel bolt before tightening.
Ok, so all my efforts resulted in a zip file which will not upload.
DW - go to the official Land Pride web site. Get into their operator manual, for any of there implements and in the back of any Op manual will be a Bolt Torque Values chart.
Sorry I just could not get the darn system to co-operate today. The Land Pride site will get you what you need.
OK - DW I'll just copy it right here. Remember all bolt torque charts are universal. In other words a chart for my Kubota is the same chart for your Fergie.
Bolt diameter SAE 2 SAE 5 SAE 8
1/4" 6 9 12
5/16" 10 19 27
3/8" 20 33 45
7/16" 30 53 75
1/2" 45 80 115
9/16" 60 115 165
5/8" 95 160 220
3/4" 165 290 400
7/8" 170 420 650
1" 225 630 970
All the values on this bolt torque chart are expressed in foot pounds.
DW - this chart is going to compress - so the first value is for grade 2, second is for grade 5 and third is for grade 8
These figures are for American coarse thread
Fine thread figures are about 10% higher and most lugs are fine thread.
Assume at least Gr 5 for wheel lugs - usually Gr 8 or M 10.9
