Need Lug Torque Value

RFB · Apr 2, 2013

Sirs,

I have a B3000 that I want to check the front and rear wheel lug torque settings. My Op Manual says "tighten the bolts to the following torques..." but then does not provide any. (My 5740 says the same thing and provides the numbers.)

I am kindly asking if anyone has those values (and I would imagine that the B3030 is the same) could you please provide them.

Thank you.

My B7800 is the same tractor, only older. Torque values in the manual are:
Front wheels.....57 to 67 ft.-lbs.
Rear wheels - nuts.....123 to 141 ft.-lbs.
- bolts....145 to 166 ft.-lbs.
Hope this helps.

The end of each of those paragraphs on p.42 of the Operator's Manual reads: (See "MAINTENANCE" section.) Kubota has a slightly different way of getting information across to us. Go to p. 66, Periodic Maintenance. The right hand column is 'Checking Wheel Bolt Torque' and the graphic on the bottom right of that page gives you wheel bolt torque in N-m, kgf-m, & ft-lbs, so you can set your nice torque wrench to whichever reading you like.
