initial torque 80-85. loosen bolt and retorque to 40-45.
I agree, the higher torque is to fasten the clutch firmly to the pto, and the second stage is to keep the bolt from stretching.
shyt. now you guys tell me. i guess its my own fault for not asking sooner.
i don't have the sled anymore or else i would correct it. i delivered it to my cousin in billings this weekend. what i did was torque to 50 lbs and then to 65. i left it there at 65 ft lbs. do you think that will be ok? or should i bring a torque wrench when i meet up with him in january?

I'd re-do it. I always torque them on just like Snowdad posted. The 85lbs is needed to seat the clutch on the tapered shaft, the the bolt needs to be backed off and torqued to 43 lbs so it doesn't break in there.

I don't think that 65#s will break the bolt, but I do think you should re do it to make sure it is seated properly. If the bolt stretches a little and the clutch is not firmly seated it could turn on the pto.
just call him up and have him retorque it. its a fairly important procedure. anyone can do it with a clicker wrench. better safe than sorry. or dont ride it till its correct. tkaes out alot of valuable(expensive) parts.
thanks guys. i already gave him a call and informed him about it. glad i have some knowledgeable guys here to give me a hand.
70-85 pounds? lol good luck getting it back out. i have owned MM'x for years and i torque to 47 pounds. have not had one come of yet 45-48 is factory spec...
factory spec is, and always has been 85ft lb initial torque, loosen bolt and retighten to 43 ft lbs.
That is what my Factory Service Manual states.
700MAXTRIP: Not sure where you got your info from but I am supprised you have not spun the clutch at 47 ft lbs. I have seen them spin at 60 to 65 ft lbs.
Are you sure you did not miss understand the 47 ft lbs to be after the initial torque of 85 ft lbs the loosening the bolt then retighten to 47 ft lbs?
