I did the search under lug nuts/wheel nuts, looked in the basic manual, but no where can I find the correct torque for tightening the wheel nuts on an Argo Bigfoot. I just switched over to tracks, snows getting a little deeper and I don't want to over crank and strip or deform the threads. Thanks. |

Erich,80 - 90 ft pounds on the nuts will be plenty of torque without stripping the threads. I have always torqued mine to these specs without any problems. |

Erich, the instructions with my Supertracks say: "Torque to a minimum of 40 ft lbs." then later it says to retorque them after the first 10 hours of operation, then again after the next ten hours, followed by re-torquing every 25 hours of operation.
