do you follow the procedure here?
If so, when the last bolt is torqued to approx #15. stop.
Now they are all evenly torqued to approx #15
NOW:
Go back to bolt #1 and torque it to approx #25, stop.
Go to bolt #2 and torque it to approx #25, stop.
Go to bolt #3 and torque it to approx #25, stop.
Go to bolt #4, -- etc, etc. until all are torqued to #25 evenly, stop.
Now:
go back to #1 bolt and torque it to the given torque listed in the service manual,---- is it #30? whatever it is, go to that torque and stop.
Go to #2 bolt and do the same thing,continuing through all the bolts till all are torqued at the final torque.
Then follow the starting/ running/heating procedure I mentioned, and retorque one last time assuring all the bolts are at the correct listed torque in the manual.
You are tightening the bolts in steps, so as to not warp or break the head,
and insure the head gasket is compressed as equally as possible, to prevent leakage.
Most all engines do this procedure.
Clear as mud?
EDIT:
My old book says #25-#30 so I'd go to #30 on the 3rd step.
And again tighten to #30 after the running/heating cycle.

My point is that NONE of this info is stated anywhere in the manual..at least not mine. I thank you for suggesting to go to 15 first since, again, no way to tell just from looking at the manual. I am using a pdf version (revised 11/92) that came from a link that was given to me here.
Go to page 12.16 of your manual and read the section on INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD AND SPARK PLUG. In the PDF document, it's page 133.

So after reading through this post, I have to ask because I'm confused; is it 18 ft/lbs first torque then 36 ft/lbs second pass?

Can't wait till this d#$# tractor is working again so I can stay clear of this forum for hopefully a LONG TIME. Actually thinking of just eliminating my account, not that anybody would give a whit. There must be other forums that are less deriding in tone.
To be fair, my comment wasn't directed towards you, I was trying to give J-Mech some sh!t

It's all a learning process and trust me, from personal experience, nobody gets it first go around. I've ignored my fair share of good advice in life (of course, I always have my own good reasons ) and it usually comes back to bite me in the a$$. The guys are just trying to help but there's a lot of people that come on here, ask for advice, ignore it, then wonder why things fail. I'm not saying this is you in the least, just that there are guys that spend a good chunk of there personal time trying to help and they get frustrated easily. This really is a wonderful site, and one of the very few that over the years I keep coming back to (one of maybe 3 total). Calm down, enjoy the info, and have a nice cold one

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
