n00b question - what size are the lug nuts/boltson my 2011 DK50se?

[MossflowerWoods]

I destroyed a front tire and got a replacement, now I need to get the rim off the tractor, and none of my impact sockets seem the correct size. I also can't drive the tractor closer to the house on 3 wheels, so trial and error is taking too long...

Is it metric (like every other bolt/nut on the tractor) or SAE?

Thanks in advance,
David

Have you tried to measure them? Might save some time.

If you need to be at the house, apply down pressure to your fell enough to lift the front end up and move in reverse to the house?

Sorry, I already drove too far on it...

Wish I had a micrometer, that would really help indeed.

Or, literally pull yourself up by your bootstraps...

Nylon tow strap around axle, over the loader arm and back. Lift the loader and make a slow retreat in reverse towards home (and a tool box). It's a tippy ride but it works.

They are metric.

God Bless you Murph!

My 15/16 was close, and I did not want to round them off.

Biggest I have is a 22mm, so I will go pick up a 24mm today.

THANK YOU!

Be well,
David
