Hey folks. I'm getting my oil and oil filter changed on my Cub. For the life of us, we can't seem to find the torque spec for the bolt for the oil filter canister top. This is where the bolt goes through the copper washer, the cap then through the oil filter.

Must be the pair of bifocals again.

Please let me know if you can help, and maybe even the section on the book. I have the gs-1411 W/Revision 1 1975 blue service manual, and the TC-37F Parts catalog (yellow), and the red owner's manual. This one gets me, because I know I've seen that section, and can't recall where it is now.

Thanks,

SS

I usually just snug it down. If you torque too tight it will squeeze the rubber gasket out from under it. I have never really seena torque spec but thats not to say there isn't one. I would say just snug it down :D :D

I'm with Podge, I've always just tightened it so it doesn't shoot oil across the room when you fire it up. Haven't seen a spec on it either.

Many of the torque specs are in the front of each section of the manuals. be careful of overtightening, especially if you have the earlier pot metal cover, the warp easily.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

It seems that most problems come from over-tightening. Don't use too long a wrench. :wink:

I had never thought about this until your post, so I did a check on 3 of mine. 48 was 8 ft lbs, 75 was 9 ft lbs, 59 was 11 ft lbs. If you are going to use a torque wrench set it at 8 to 10 lbs, if you have a leak at 10 you have a problem with the gasket or surfaces.

Well, I started out with 20 ft lbs with my 1/2" torque wrench. That was the lowest setting for my wrench. I could see the new gasket warping. So, I backed it off and used a "feel snug" approach with a different wrench. No leaks! Now then, the old gasket had gotten hard, and I know a gasket like that will not seal, so I've done the Cub a whole lot of good. 8) :D Sears is having a tool sale this coming weekend, starting Feb 23rd and running until March 1st. The 3/8" Craftsman Microtek Torque wrench will be $59.99 and measures in inch pounds. I can to the math to convert to ft lbs. This wrench I think is normally $79.99 or $89.99. But, you do have to be a member to get the extra discount. I'll check my settings, and let you know.

Thanks folks for the help. To tight is as bad as too loose.

I would suggest reading the cunsumer ratings on Craftsman torque wrenches. Some are OK some are pure junk.
