Did not see the torque value any where either, today I ordered the C D version of the shop Manuel it should contain a lot of torque values, I will check it out and let you now but they said it could take a week to get it .
I would tighten the drain plugs good and snug and then just a little more ,drain plugs do not have to be very thigh it is easy to check afterword if there is a bit of oil on the pan .
It is important to make sure the O ring or washer around the plug is in good shape, on a new or recent engine or transmission this should not be an issue.
About the screen in the transmission ,it definitely needs to be cleaned when you do the service mine had a lot of metal stuck to the magnet .

Thanks for your reply. I will go ahead with the screen/magnet cleaning. I will tighten the plugs enough to stop the leaks and snug them a little more using a 1/4" drive. Surely I will not strip the plug with that tool. I bought a lb-in torque wrench so I will be anxious to hear what your CD shop manuel calls for.

Finely got the answer to the hours before the first engine oil change, on mi C D that contains 638 pages if I remember well.
They say to change the oil for the first time at 100 hours . the preferred oil is the synthetic plus 50 ,so I did.
Could not find the torch value for the drain plugs only thing I found [ do not over tighten.]

Thanks for the reply. At 74 hrs. now. Will change oil at 100.
So far no leaks or stripped plugs on the transmission drain and screen servicing.

Do you feel the CD was worth purchasing?

I think for me it was worth purchasing, I intend to keep this tractor for a long time , I worked as an auto mechanic for a long time and this C D has all the information
to repair any thing that goes wrong with mi tractor.
