Eaton 2 speed torque spec
Looking for a "torque spec" for the main bearing caps on my eaton 1350. My manual says "very tight". I marked the bolts before I took them apart and once I tightened them down to the mark the value came about 40ftlb. That just seems low to me.

Lacking a factory specification, you can look up torque values on an online chart that would show a recommended torque for specific types of bolts, by size, grade, length, thread, etc., and go with that. You just want to be careful about possibly over tightening the bearings. Then there's always the spec, "Bob tight", what we called things put together by my late friend who was larger and stronger than the average man. He always made sure his fasteners wouldn't come apart, which sounds perhaps like what the book is calling for.

Oh gosh, let's not blindly trust the AI search results. Take the example here:

In my following post on that thread, I show how to get to the underlying AI source and find its folly. You should do the same and cite the actual source if it does happen to be correct.

There are multiple Eaton publications on line, even for older stuff. There are PDFs with torque specs etc.
These things don't link very well as the address becomes too long.
But if you do a search with "Eaton 1350 torque specifications" you'll find Eaton stuff by the bushel.
And yes, avoid anything "AI". Too new, not reliable.
