Does anyone know what the torque should be on these bolts? Or do you use typical table values like 180 lbs for "lubricated conditions" of 5/8 bolts UNF ?

@steadfast glad you found sources for the items you were looking for already.
3/8 x 24 unf grade grade 8 bolt should be about 50lbs. torque . That being said it uses a lock nut so there needs to be allowance for that . I know it is in the manuals somewhere . Which of course is on the other computer , and that old thing take 4 hrs to boot up .

There is a couple of things that need some TLC. A paint job for starters, front pivot pin kit, the rear hitch kit is missing and the steering pinion/rack is sloppy. Is there a place in Canada where parts for these tractors can be had? If not here then the US.
Welcome steadfast. I'm a little late coming to the party, eh! Yes, the 446 is a very nice machine and with some tweaking you should have a great machine that will last your lifetime! Good luck on your new to you 446!

Keep the Peace
