The spec for all common IH bolts is to use an oil unless otherwise specified, and then it was usually a substitute like red or white lead. And it is included in the torque spec. (Anti seize uses nearly the same torque spec as oil.) A dry bolt will typically not torque down well and is actually more likely to come loose. It has artificial friction and appears to be more tight than it actually is, leading to the feeling that it must be tight because it turns hard. Of course there are always the cases where dirt is incidentally used as an epoxy. :lol: In places where "working out" might be a problem you will see fine thread used. The IH crawlers are full of them.
Anti seize rules. :)
PS: That generator belt sucks.
