LX178 Water Pump

[Scruffy1]

Can anyone tell me the torque required for the bolts on the water pump? The tractor is a John Deere LX178 garden tractor, engine number FD440V004089. The bolts are (JD part number) M6 X 45 (19M7834), M8 X 12(19M7864), M6 X 80 (19M8145) Thank you for any help provided. Scruffy

This should help.

Great thanks, that's what the dealer told me also but the 186in/Lbs seems too much thought they were wrong but I guess not.

Remember the spec. is given in INCH pounds, NOT foot pounds.

186 inch pounds will be 15.49999999 Ft. lbs, and 80 inch pounds is 6.6666 Ft. lbs. would be easy to twist them off if confused. Found the conversion here. http://www.convertunits.com/from/inch+lbs/to/foot+lbs

You don't really need a conversion calculator. 12 inches in a foot so divide in-lbs by 12 and you have ft-lbs. Pretty easy. Not trying to be a smart-arse here...just trying to keep it simple.
