200cx tool size

[vintagemilano]

Anyone know what size socket I need to retorque the huge nut on the tie bar of the mounting plates for the 200cx. Went around and redid all the others this afternoon and had 4 various nuts that were loose. One of the main pivots that is a greaseable bolt and three of the 18mm bolts on the mounting plates, one on one side two on the other. I do know it's smaller than 32mm though... :-)

You could always measure it???, but a lot of the nuts on mine are 24mm.

It's kinda a crappy location, just figured someone would have been there, done that already. As it's 200'/lbs you would want something that fits right.

On the loader itself most of the larger bolts measured about 15/16". I bought a cheap digital caliper off Amazon, it's been very useful in the field

You may want to go for a smaller one, this one can be unwieldy.

30mm.

I also found several loose the first time and had to puchase a torque adapter to reach the one behind the hydraulic pump.
