Wheel torque settings

[Hair Bear]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the wheel bolt torque settings for a '64 Dexta? Looking for front and rear wheels to hub and rear rims to dish please?
Thanks.

Ford never specified them, they do insist on tightebning up after use until no movement can be achieved.

Thanks Sandy. Odd that there are just no figures. To get them equal I'll probably go with 75 lb/ft on the front, and about 120 lb/ft at the back.
Is that reasonable?

Sounds ok to me. Do check that they remain tight, if they don't keep tightening untill they are, as Ford instructed. I saw some Thames Trader data where some were up to 310 lb ft! (using 7/8" UNF)

I am erring on the side of caution, it's not my machine but I need it to be safe and be able to give it's owner a checkable figure. I was using the the Massey settings as a guide as the wheel/hub assemblies are very similar, it's 80 at the front and 200 on the back but I don't need to be snapping studs!

That should be fine. See if other similar tractors have such figures too, just to make sure.
