rear lug nut torque

[chuck172]

Can someone tell me the torque settings of the rear tire lug nuts?
I have a ck35

According to my owners manual on page 8-3 in the lower right hand corner it says 50lb-ft and that is for the ck25/27/30/35 The same owners manual covers all 4 models.

I would be very careful torqueing wheel studs/nuts; thought I should check mine with a torque wrench after delivery and ended up stripping a couple, very easy to do. Now I use a half inch ratchet/socket and snug them up like I would an automotive wheel

Thanks for the info!

I have a John Deere the same size and weight and uses the same size tires. My lug bolt torque is 140 lb/ft. I do not think I had a car that had a lug bolt torque that low. We are talking about a Kiota CK35 tractor which weighs about 3,100 pounds and has 34 HP? The picture shows the same sort of lug bolt pattern front and rear as my JD.

Looking at a torque chart in my owners manual a grade 10.9 metric bolt in 10 mm would use 55 lb-ft.

Plenty of torque charts available with a Bing or Google search. Metric Bolt Torque Chart

My DK35se calls for 160 ft lbs on the rear lug nuts. I don't think 50 ft lbs is any where near enough on the Ck35

I think 50 ft-lb is for the fronts. I believe the rears are supposed to be about 200 ft-lb. Look at your owners' manual. If you don't have one, get one.

I just moved the rears on my M4700 so I could get it on the trailer. They (/edit - the manual ) called for about 200 or 225 lbs. I didn't have a torque wrench that went above 140. So I put a 210 lb weight (my son) on the end of a foot long wrench.

I took that info right out of the owners manual. I don't agree with it, but I did take it from the owners' Manual. Here is the page:


and here is the front of the owners manual....See where it says CK25/CK27/CK30/CK35

Sounds like each make and model is different. When in doubt, I follow the manufactures specs. My L3400 is 160#. Seems high but that's what I go them torqued at.
