I love the FO-4 manual but ...

Can someone please help? It may be a bit much to ask if someone has actually compiled a list of torque specs for every fastener found on an N, but if someone has, could you please post it or post a link? I'll bet a lot of N owners would really like that.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a good reference source that charts bolts and torque specs in general. Preferably this would not be an all encompassing engineering manual, as such a manual would probably be pretty expensive considering all I am looking for is torque information.

Finally, (I'm trying to not have to ask this kind of question again), what is the torque spec for the six bolts that hold the clutch assembly to the flywheel?

Thanks

most of the time, tight is tight enuff. FO-4 generally lists ONLY the ones that really count. Like how tight do you have to bolt the fender bolt? Tight enuff, ok?

Most N-tractor nuts and bolts are fine thread and the most common sizes are 5/16, 7/16, 5/8 and would best be kinda classified as grade 6. So you really only have to memorize 3 common torque values..... .....Dell

Now about that crankshaft bolt... When I had the engine on a stand and the oil pan off I had a great way to hold the crank shaft so I could tighten that bolt as hard as I wanted (100 ft-lbs) without problem. Now that the engine is hanging from a hoist it isn't so easy. Dell, you mentioned in past responses that a person could put soft 1/4 inch clothesline in a sparkplug hole and turn the crank until the piston makes contact with the clothesline, then tighten the crankshaft bolt to the necessary 150 ft-lbs. Since the sparkplugs are lined up over the valves I expect I'll be trying to thread this clothesline over to the piston. Is there any chance that if I don't get it in the right place I could wedge this clothesline between a valve and the head and damage a valve, or is this nothing to worry about?

Thanks again.
