FMC 5x5 sidewinder blade bolt torque recommendation

[nrichard]

Does anyone know what the torque specifications are for the bolt/jam nut in connecting 22” long x 3/8” thick blades on a FMC 5x5 SideWinder brush mower. I have the manual but no specification for this is noted. Thanks in advance for your help. Norm

This is what AI replied;

" That sounds awfully high to me. I tighten my King Kutter bolts (with lock washers) to 125-150 lb/ft with my 3/4" ratchet and have Never Seez on the threads. I've never found a loose nut on a bolt when removing them for sharpening, but the KK bolts are keyed into the stump jumper bolt holes.
Oh, AI says the torque value is found in the owners manual, so there's that.

Thank you, guys, for that. I'll take those recommended torque values under consideration. Norm
