Anyone know the torque spec on the fasteners that hold the accelerator lugs to the rolls? I know they strip out easily. Would a 3/8 x 3/4 standard bolt work to hold them on? Ordered a set of stainless lugs on Monday but just found out they are not coming till this coming Monday. Would like to get the corn combine back in the field. Toying with putting my old lugs back on and swapping this winter.
Tom, it's 27-36 ft. #. Yes, those bolts will work, but they need to be an inch long to compensate for a flat and lock washer. You're really better off with flange head bolts if you can get some. Don't forget to lok-tite them, blue will do.
Temptation is to use an impact....don't! A nut driver on a cordless drill set pretty light is about as power tool crazy as you want to get. The good news is there's plenty of room and light in there...lol!
