Had the head redone on my TO-30 and need to know bolt torque and sequence so I can re-install it. I have a reprint of the owner"s manual, but it does not contain that information. Any help greatly appreciated. I bought the tractor a few months ago and haven"t had a chance to mow my 9 acres with it, as it came ot me with a couple of burned valves. However, it"s winter in Indiana so things aren"t growing very fast now anyway.

Carl, a picture is worth a thousand words. This has come up before, so I took the time to scan the tightening sequence and I also posted it in the "parts & pieces" gallery.
Here it is.
Tighten as described in Chuck's post until you get to 70-75 ft pounds.

It's too cold to go fetch my manual, so I did a search and found this. It's from Mike Morhouser posted last February. How he describes the sequence is right on:

"I don't have a tightening sequence picture for you but if you start in the middle of the head and zig zag pattern to the ends you will be okay. First snug the bolts all down using this pattern. Then go back and torque them to 60 foot lbs., then 65 foot lbs, and the final torque of 70-75 foot lbs."
