Tires axle bolts

[kevinj]

I have a 2004 kubota b7510 with a back hoe and bucket. My axle bolts keep loosing up on me. I have tighten them to 108 ft-lbs like the manual says. I drove the tractor just about 1000ft and they loosen up on me. Does anyone have an answer to this? Do i need new axle bolts,lock washers and nuts? Should i use locking nuts instead?

If they loosen in a thousand feet you got serious issues.

Do you mean the axle clamps or the wheel to hub???

Tear them apart, clean, lube reassemble, torque, run, torque.

Are you sure they ain't stretching. I would Mark them with a good marker and make sure they ain't stretching. If they are replace

Hey inkydinkydoo hope you figured out what was going on with this, as this was 8 months ago now. If you ended up having to replace anything with aftermarket parts, my preference is ACV - good range of models and good support - American CV ATV Axles and Joints - Polaris, Kubota, Yamaha & More

Maybe I missed something but I remember reading something about rear wheel fasteners would loosen if you used the backhoe and had the wheels off the ground and brake off. At my age who knows what I read!

sandyc don't know what you read but having the wheels off the ground and using backhoe won't cause the wheels to loosen.

Ok. I traded in my 2920 and don't have a by. I wonder if I can read that in one of the manuals. Oh well, no problem. Time for my nap to get ready for some snow blowing tomorrow. + 20 inches expected for this storm.
