General Information
Torque Ratings
Recommended torque ratings, location and thread sizes of capscrews and nuts are listed below. Capscrew lengths are given for
reference purposes as a guide for installation at proper locations.
Correct torque application is extremely important to assure long transmission life and dependable performance. Over-tightening
or undertightening can result in a loose installation and in many instances, cause damage to transmission gears, shafts and bear-
ings. Do not torque capscrews dry.
Note: Installing the capscrews with more than 23 lbs. ft. of torque will force the corners of the PTO cover away from the case with
resultant oil leakage.
