I'm over cautious when it comes to bolt torque, don't have a full blown machine shop, and hate to have to fight broken bolts or broken parts.
The question I have is for bolt torque for the bolts holding the manifold to the transmission.
I know the manifold is cast, and have seen several pictures of cracked manifolds due to over-tightening.
In the tractor spec sheet from John Smith's page I found the torque for the two bolts holding the pump to the block at 18-21 ft. lbs.
But I can't seem to find the torque for the manifold to the trans.
I know it has to be 'snug' because its two flat surfaces with the O-rings that holds up to 2000 lbs of hydraulic pressure, but I don't want to crack a manifold either.
Any help will be appreciated.
Getting real close to firing her off, maybe even tonight, need to fill fluids, mount gas tank and cross my fingers. Got all the wiring finished last night. Starter turns, lights come on, power to coil, just want to prime the oil pump and see what happens.
