I'm having the same problem finding the bolt torque sequence on my TVT691 twin 20 hp crankcase oil sump. Youtube helps a lot but can't find anything. no manual. Maybe you can go to youtube to get your answer

You will find the engine repair manual on the K & C Mowers web site .
Remember who was good enough to provide this information when you need parts .
Where there is no sequence shown in a manual, then the actual sequence is not considered important .
SO you start at a convienent spot then tighten criss cross
The standard method is to pick the centre and do them up finger tight then do the corners ( imagine it as a square ) .
Always do them up in 3 steps and you will have no problems with warping or squeezing the gasket out
