Can anyone give me the torque for the main bearing cap, connectioning rod and head bolts for model F Fordson Thanks in advance.
 
Torque readings became common during WWII in an effort to standardize maintainence, stuff built before that didnt have a set reading especially stuff that used babbitt bearings!
You can get a good approximination by measuring the diametre of the fasteners to be tightened and refuring to a generalized torque limit chart based on that measurement.
IF I was doing it, I'd go maybe 75 ft.lbs on the headbolts,
I'd tighten down the conn. rod bolts to 50 ft.lbs. with some plastic gauge in them and see what kind of clearance I got.
And I'd go 80 ft.lbs. on the mains doing the same.
I assume you have still have shims left on both of those for adjustment....
