So, I've seen the question come up a few times, and answers from a complete guess to conflicting "official" spec's. So, what is the proper bolt torque for the rear and top covers on the rear differential? I just torqued my top cover bolts to 30 lb-ft (360 lb-in), based on some prior posts on the subject, but it felt awful tight for the given bolt spacing and size on a cork gasket.
I've seen a few references to "page 2" of the service manual. However, I have my IH Blue Ribbon Service manual for Models 71, 102, 122 and 123 (GSS-1369) sitting here in front of me, and there is no such page. There are pages 1-2, 2-2, and 3-2, none of which contain this bolt torque info. Thanks, Rick |

One of the articles I read once, is where the 30 Ft Lbs came into light, was when when a custom gasket was made of neoprene.

There are base torque specs for all fasteners Should be in the manual, that is if you really need to torque those bolts. "Tight is good too tight is broken" Who said that?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
