Unless a manual specifies a a torque on a nut or bolt there usually isn't one. Engine heads and auotomotives lugs have torques but most things do not. Like DG says, good and tight.

Thanks, that's good food for thought.
I'm kind of toying with the idea of a SM.side job cleaning,fixing,and saving decks/mowers from the farm fashionable,field ornament. Help pay for my fishen,any how. :)
My dad used to make knives,I sharpen ONE set of blades now I'm constantly getting bombed with the"help me's"
And of course on about 2% of them have any paper work ! That's why people like you are beyond awesome !

so again THANK YOU.
