I'm in process of installing Kubota wheel spacers on my L3400. The Operators manual shows rear wheel torque at 160 ft lbs. but the diagram does not match the wheels on my tractor. My tractor only has 4 lug bolts and 2 studs on each of the two wheels. The diagram shows a set of inner and another set of outer wheel bolts. All I have is one set of wheel bolts near center of wheel. I don't have the outer bolts which I think are for adjusting width of rear wheels but not really sure. I'm concerned because the diagram in manual doesn't match the wheels on my tractor. Can anyone verify the torque values for the rear wheels on a 2012 L3400DT? Is 160 ft lbs correct value? The spacers require replacement of the bolts/studs with longer ones. They will all be replaced with studs. No more bolts. Is the torque the same for bolts and studs. Will the stated value of 160 ft lbs be appropriate for the 6 new studs as opposed to the original 4 bolt/2 stud arrangement?
