Lugs and lug bolts?

[marrmanu]

Just picked up a BX2370 and see its got lug nuts and lug bolts on both rear rims. Each located in the same pattern.
Any Ideas?

Standard on all the BX models I've seen. The studs/nuts make things easier to mount loaded tires, but I don't know why the bolts are there.

Yep, what @Speed25 said. This is my BX2360. (Still have chains on)

If you have only two studs, you can line up one hole to one stud and get the wheel onto that one stud, and probably get the nut started onto the stud. Then you can raise or lower the tractor and get the second hole to line up with the stud and get it on. Then the other holes will be lined up to put the bolts in.

If all were studs you have to rotate the tire to get them all aligned at one time. Not that easy even on a car.

Thxs, that makes too much sense.

Logic does that sometimes!
