Hydraulic leak

[sparky8027]

Hi guys, I need to replace the bolt joint on my Kubota B1700 delivery line going to the 3 point hitch control valve. My question is what is the torque setting for this bolt that has 2 copper sealing washer with it. I have the manual but it shows 2 different torque specs 25.3 - 32.5 ft-lbs and 43.4 - 57.9 ft-lbs. I have ordered the bolt and washers and there is no torque settings with the parts. I don't want to under torque or over torque this bolt as the bolt has hydraulic fluid running thru it and I don't want to take everything apart to torque it to the higher setting. Thanks in advance!

Page 3-S6 of the WSM lists the torque at 25.3 to 32.5 ft-lbs which is consistent with other models.

Thanks whitetiger I found those torque specs but also on pages 2-S2, 2-S6, 3-S13 and E2-S1 they show the specs for 43.4 to 57.9 ft-lbs am I reading this right?

You must have an older manual than what I am looking at, I am viewing the latest version from the Kubota Dealers Portal. I believe yours has a mistake or two.
It appears that 25.3 ft-lbs to 32.5 ft-lbs is the correct torque.

Thank you, my manual must be wrong, it is from the 1990's and it is not the same as the 2 pdf files you just sent
