The owner physically re-torques front/rear wheel bolts, front frame bolts (including loader-attachment points), and lift link bolts, citing exact foot-pound specs and manual page numbers from the book. Useful for owners doing their own break-in service or troubleshooting a loose loader or wheel.
An owner-operator working on their own Max 26 XLT, sharing practical, manual-referenced maintenance steps rather than a sales pitch.
They recommend 65 to 69 foot-pounds of torque, tightened in a crisscross pattern like you would on a car.
Check them in the first 10 hours of operation and every 100 hours after that, and again anytime a wheel is removed.
The two M14 bolts need 89 to 96 foot-pounds, and the four smaller M12 bolts need 62 to 69 foot-pounds.
The front frame bolts, grade 10.9, are torqued to the recommended 80 foot-pounds, including loader attachment points.
