I'm posting this to all because alot of them are similiar. Mine is an 85 740. Like most here, at one time or another belt tensioner bolt twisted off. I usually grab spares from the local yard. Well, of course twisted one off and I was out. Went down to the local hardware and all they had was a 1/4 x 20, 3".
Tool required:
1 tap-1/4x20. You don't even have to do any drilling. Just use the tap to retap a 1/4x20 thread where the tensioner bolt screws into. Didn't take 5 minutes. And the 1/4 is beefier.
Hope this helps someone. Oh, the the cost is great. 56 cents for the bolt.
