2135 - Check the rear wheel lug nuts!

[packardv8]

I was doing the annual spring cleaning; new air filter, oil and filter change, lubrication, check tire air pressure. This time, I happened to notice the left rear lug nuts were loose. I'd have thought I'd have noticed if they were loose last year, but who knows?

Good eye & post Jack Vines, preventive maintenance keeps them running.

. Wheel nuts should be tighten with a toque wrench. Me not knowing the size I can't give you the specs. Then after you run the mower lets say after a couple of lawn cuttings they should be checked again. I have found as a rule after the second tighten they be good to go.
