Hey guys, I have a '58 Case 310 that has a loose sprocket nut.. Well I should say the sprocket is loose, but the nut still seams tight. It almost seems like the spacer that's on the backside wore down because
there is space between the backside of the nut and front of the sprocket. Either way I want to try to torque the nut down first before I commit to disassembly where I will likely install a new sprocket final
drive shaft and seals and inspect the sprocket for damage to its splines as well. I'm certainly aware of the problems these machines can have if over the course of their use this nut has not been monitored and
kept properly torqued.
I believe the torque I remember reading somewhere on here was something like 1500 ft.lbs. is that correct?
