hi, just wondering if anyone knows the torque specs of the nuts that hold the shanks on the bucket. The bolts are 3/4”. I bought new shanks and teeth and want to install them this weekend. Any help would be appreciated.

My choice 1" rattle gun until stop moving. Kind of hard on the helper holding the bolt!

Should be a plow bolt. No helper required

You don't know my Helpers, is always Me, Myself and I all three hanging on that 1". And Yes I am fully aware are plow bolts. Only so many hands to hold the bolt head in with the less than friendly threaded ones while running the gun with my helpers.

I feel your pain. Perhaps a healthy tack weld would “help”

Ain't that the truth!
Tight as you can get them and half a turn more. That's probably the same bolt used on a 963. I break them on a regular basis pushing brush. Five foot pipe on a breaker bar in the field, one inch impact at the shop. You can't get them to tight I don't think. I've never broke one tightening them.
