My 2012 F-250 lugs call for 165 ft-lbs but those are M14x1.5 bolts which are close to 9/16". I did find my old Bobcat Loader Technical Service Guide, updated to 2001, and for 90% of the loaders the torques are 105-115 ft-lbs. This includes all of the 800 series loaders. The exceptions only being that most of the smaller 400 and 500 series being less torque and the 900 series being a whopping 320-350 ft-lbs.Until someone can come up with a definite answer for any of the larger Bobcats I guess I will go with 105-115 ft-lbs.</blockquote>
