Subject: Lug bolts ft/lbs?


Bought at auction. Center dump. *round metal wheels under plate rusted, now free, should crank better*. ;* first issue. They were all stuck, hard to unload* Second issue I noticed tires set really narrow, valve stems in. So rotate out, should gain almost a foot of width, and sharper turn, backing. Any reason not to? It will not be used in crops.

I bought it as cheap, has tarp, and thinking a spare to speed up hauling to town. I am Going +40mph, back +25mph as the empty boxes bounce badly much over 25 mph. So if I unhook, home just truck near 60 mph, 2nd load, then pull two empty +25 mph I should speed stuff up.

Edited out thought on grain leakage. Tires were under 40 psi. 22.5 narrow truck. Now low 60 psi, wider stance it might ride better? I tightened lug bolts over 100 ft/lbs. *I saw 90-150 suggested* I normally tighten less.
Hoping corn price keeps going up. I have 2 loads in dryer bin, and would like to take a thousand out of 3rd storage bin. At least. Just to get movement.
I never messed with lug bolt tighten. Just did it till it felt good. Torque wrench in box of auction stuff. Max 100. After it hit just bit more force bolt moved. Sad torque sticks do not work with battery impacts.
