Loader-specific torque retightening, buried in a separate manual, gets real attention with actual foot-pound specs. Best for new B-series owners doing this service themselves.
Posted by The Country Living Project channel; the presenter appears to be a first-time tractor owner working through the service live, with no evident dealership or brand affiliation.
The bolt is a 14 millimeter but a heavy coat of paint prevented a 14mm socket from fitting, so a 9/16 socket was used instead.
Bolts labeled 2 are 110 ft-lb, labeled 3 are 66 ft-lb, labeled 4 are 59 ft-lb, and labeled 5 are 60 and another at 66.
The front wheel bolts are torqued to 58.3 foot-pounds and the rear wheel bolts to 79 foot-pounds, likely converted from Newton meter specs.
Fluid drained out quickly once the filter was loosened, risking a gallon of loss, so the old filter was reinstalled, fluid drained into containers, filtered through a coffee filter, and reused.
