Blower question

[ronbeatty]

I am replacing the gear end gasket on a Gardner Denver blower and I cannot find the torque settings in the manual. Does anyone know what the torque setting is? Also, what is the best thread sealer for synthetic gear oil?

I could be wrong but I would assume your model gafmmr would have similar torque values as on page 24 here

What went wrong?

Oil leak, the gasket split. Keep an eye on yours, it is evidently an issue with this blower. Got the gasket from Aerotech.

Thanks Fred, I looked through the manual but missed that, shouldn't be doing that type of work at 11:00 pm.
