What is the 440IC Head Bolt Torque Spec?

Post by dmlinton » Thu May 28, 2015 9:26 pm

Can anyone tell me what the head bolt torque specification is for my 1960 JD 440IC (gas)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

85-90 lb/ft. But there is an order to do them in. Hard to put the figure (60-15-11 in the 440 gas manual pg 60-15-4) into words.....

Thanks Stan. As the torque is the same as for a 420C, for which I have a service manual, is it a safe assumption that the sequence is also the same?

Hi,

Yes, I would assume so as well. But, since I have both manuals on hand I went out to the shop and double checked. Just in case. They are the same. :)
