i have never thought about using a torque wrench on them couplers. all i have ever done is make them tight according to feel. now this brings up tie rod ends on vehicles, since it is the same taper connection. i have never saw or heard of someone torquing them either. to me this is more concerning when you see vehicles meeting you on the hyway. and anytime i wanted to see how fast my vehicle would go i would make sure i inspected the front end first. to me a motor vehicle mechanic should know all this sort of stuff after all he has went through classes to get his ticket. i sure dont want some guy off the street i have no idea on who he, is working on steering or brakes for me. that is why i am picky and do know right from wrong. i had to go to school to get my ticket and its on my name the work i do. i also have done vehicle inspections also.
 
When I was working on the same joint on my M, I couldn't find any torque spec to use (not saying there isn't one). I just tightened em up a little tighter than I thought they needed to be, since I couldn't find out how tight they were supposed to be.

I wouldn't of been to concerned about it, except for them coming loose was the reason I was working on it. So I saw an importance for them to be tight.

The leaking add on hydraulic system on the tractor, keeping them drenched in hydraulic fluid, I think was the reason they came loose in the first place. Was my problem anyways.
 
That's pretty much how it's done. It's called "farmer tight." Once you develop a feel for it, and where it's appropriate, you'll spend a lot less time chasing after torque values.

On most things getting the exact torque is not all that important. What's important is the bolt doesn't come loose and fall out. Stuff like cylinder heads and internal engine parts where you have machine tolerances, sure, use a torque wrench. Lug nuts on modern cars too especially with the alloy wheels. Even there in most cases it's more important to get a consistent tightness than it is to achieve an exact amount of foot pounds.
