Front Lug Bolts on BX 2200

[dawall]

I hadn't checked the torque on the lug bolts since the last oil change. So of course I lost one of the front wheel bolts. Is this only available from a Kubota Dealer? I couldnt find anything but torque specs for the bolt. Tried to get one at an auto parts store but they couldnt find one identical. Any alternatives to dealer? Nearest dealer is about an hour and a half away.

Dan,
I'd stick with a Kubota bolt. Call your dealer and have him send one to you /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Why not try a hardware store or TSC? Get the same grade and you'll be fine. You'll probably even have a few pennies left in your pocket vs. what Kubota will charge. That is what I've done for the couple bolts I've lost out of the MMM and the pins NH uses on the MMM.

Thanks for quick response,
Talked to a few dealers they all say I need the Kubota bolt (which they don't have in stock). I guess it makes sense to get the Kubuto bolt to make sure I get the right thread pitch, taper, tensil strength and oh yeah, correct metric size

You might want to check your 3 pt top link where it bolts to the HST as well. I was shocked and horrified that mine was as loose as it was. Same with FEL frame mount.
Oil change coming up and I'm going to go through the whole machine tightening everthing like I should have.
