tom1361 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hello, I'm looking for torque specs for the mounting bolts on my steering box. The 4 bolts that mount the plate to the box are 3/4 inch diameter. There are 5 bolts that mount the plate to the frame. The 2 long 3/4 inch diameter bolts that go through the frame and plate are a nut and bolt set up. Then there are three 1/2 inch diameter bolts that go through the frame and bolt directly to the mounting plate. My TS 442 manual does not have specific torque specs for any of these bolts. The only set in stone torque spec is for the pinch bolt. The rest of the bolts are general torque specs form a table in section 1 and 2 of the manual for grade 5 or 8 3/4 or 1/2 inch diameter bolts. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Tom VB. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63051-1971-r795st-steering-gear-torque-specs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 You will be OK with the general torque specs listed in the tables. I would use the lbs for gr 5 fine or course depending on what you have for tpi. 2 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
