Donny, I don't know. The CK30 manual error is just a fluke...
a simple typo. It Happens to all of us. The other figures are likely ok.
The 9-0 transposing just kind of hit me. Victor mentioned it a
couple of times, but it didn't sink in.
This begs the question of whether folks that properly retorqued the wheels to the incorrectly specified 290.7 lb ft
have caused serious damage.
I can only give a guess because I do not know the fastener
steel properties.
IF the studs/nuts are grade 8 or better and IF they were
retightened to 290.7 not more than a time or two you are probably ok. It just ends up being an unintended TTY fastener.
Do it four or five times with perhaps a little grease on the washer and you will have a 2WD tractor with a really good built in trenching attachment!
Tractorlegend's discovery of loose 30 lb ft fasteners is far more likely to cause rapid failure. It's good he found that
and told us about it.
Still the overtorque is not a good thing. This needs to be corrected immediately. It's a safety thing.
