Hello, I'm confused about how much torque the oil pump on my tractor needs. I've seen on this forum people saying that it should be 35-40 ft.lbs., but I'm unsure of this number as the spec for the main bearings is much higher than this. Essentially, i'm just trying to ask some of the more informed people around here what they think is the correct spec.

The oil pump is part of the front main bearing cap. The stud nuts on that cap should be torqued to 90-100 lb-ft just like the other two.
 
Thanks TOH, that's good to hear because i had just gotten my oil pan buttoned back up today so I was worried i'd have to heave it off again just to re-torque that pump.
