John Deere L111 42″ deck. What are is the torque spec for the deck blade spindle mounting bolts? They are a grade 5 5/16″ bolt which go in to steel inserts in the spindle. The bolt charts say 16-19 ftlbs but that does not seem like very much considering the vibrations etc. Thank you.
Owned L111 Since 2006 Has Taken On A Lot of Work Dependable
Will a L111 deck bolt onto the L110?
