Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 27, 2020 Dealing with big bolts on equipment , I have seen the practice of lubricating threads go both ways when it comes to torquing , some charts will show torque valves with oil and without oil , not a big difference , but a different valve , most of the time , threads are to be lubed before torquing ----on my 4 wheelers I don't lube the threads or use a torque wrench , I do apply Lock-Tite to stud where the wheel spacers go , but not where the rims bolt up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goober 1,555 Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Got the complete service done except for greasing the front end and toe-in, toe-out. Everything looks great. New tires look killer. bought grease now can’t find my grease gun😖maybe my kid got it with her John Deere project. Now to install and wire up a harness for the crop sprayer. yup I did my usual OCD cleanup on it, knocking off 12 years worth of sunflower parts, clay and oil!

Goober 1,555 Posted October 1, 2020 Yup i have a printed service manual for every quad. I like having it on the bench; it is large print, doesn’t time out and i can read it while sitting in my easy chair. My most recent manual is for my car 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
