Looking for a torque spec for new cutting edge

[Deeds86]

Does kubota list a torque spec for the the tl1756 cutting edge bolts for the 66" qa bucket on a l2502 tractor with la526 loader? I know its not super important but have blown apart low grade bolts before from overtightening and dont want them loosening up... I ask because depending on the grade torque specs could range from 64 ft lbs all the way up to about 181... dealers of no help... like I said I know its minor but if its in a book somewhere id rsther follow it

Snug them up with a ratchet and call it a day.

Even cheap bolts, you’ve gotta go gorilla mode to snap at that size.

I always try and use new nyloc nuts wherever I can. As an extra bit of caution, I always use a lockwasher if it doesn,t cause a problem. That way, by just snugging the nut onto the bolt, I don,t really have to worry about a torque spec or overtightening them.

I am thinking they are grade 5 plow bolts, PLOW BOLT(1/2-13UNC*1 3/4). The torque would be 81-95 ft-lbs.

Good rule of thumb, but important to keep in mind that as you get older the grunt value weakens and must be compensated for by adding grunts.

Awesome thank you much, guy at the dealership without asking said put an impact on it and dont stop til it stops cranking the nut, thats wrong... called the better dealership and was told 64 ft lbs and felt like that was just too light figured id be shooting for around 100 or so... thanks for the response!

Haha the grunt specs, 2 grunts usually does it for most things

And maybe a fart or two?
