Socket Sizes Needed for 200CX Loader

[Gizmo2]

What are the sockets sizes I need to use to check the bolts on a 200CX loader and mounting frame. Would like to pick them up on my way home tonight.

I just checked and there are five nuts per side but they are on pivot bolts. If you tighten them too much the arm that its supporting won't be able to move. Don't worry about it right now.
On my JD teeth I found that I had 'distressed bolts' That is a bout a half inch into the bolt, the threads are deformed by the manufacturer. It takes an impact wrench to move those nuts. I suspect that it's the same thing on the loader.

As for the mounting frame bolts, I can't remember what size these were, but when I had to remove them to install the MMM front support brackets, I couldn't find a socket, SAE or Metric, 6 point or 12 point, of any size that actually fit them. I had to beat the closest impact socket I could find on with a hammer to get it on there far enough to engage the bolt head.

I think it turned out to be a 5/8.

And, they were TIGHT. It took everything I had pulling on an 18 inch breaker bar, with both feet on the rear axle to get them loose.

The frame bolts should take an 18 mm socket. Depending on how old your loader is, you shouldn't have to retorque them. The later versions came with loctite on the threads.
