Torque values for aluminum threads
 

Hello,

Well, another day another blunder. I was making progress on my 108 until I went to fasten the clutch drive plate to the drive cup, yep striped one of the threaded holes. I have the Helicoil 1/4" course thread kit for the fix, but I doubt that I will have my tractor in service for 2020 now. Winter is close and I am going to have to put this aside. One question though, what would the proper torque value to use in this situation be? After consulting torque value section in the manual, I thought it would be 10 FTLB? However, that didn't work out so well....
