Hello,
I have been searching for the torque specs for the four little housing bolts on the spindle for a John Deere la175. The housings are aluminum, I want to get them tight, but not so tight as to strip out.

Apply antiseize compound to bolt threads & install & tighten until snug. Auto parts stores have small packets of antiseize compound.

Do them up til they stop moving in then 1/4 turn
Alternative do them up till they go loose then back off 1/2 turn :devilish:

Those should either 5/16" or 8mm self tapping screws. Dry up to 12 ft/lbs. Lubed up to 9 ft/lbs.
