I've got one for ya re: my '65, 4000 3 cyl. gas. I had to remove the shift cover plate (4 speed) to check on a shifting problem. I tried to cheap out by reusing the old gasket and wound up with major leaking.
Now that a new gasket has arrived ($4.95 for gasket/$17.00 shipping, grrrr) should I use that blue gasket goop on both sides of the new one or not. Also, is there a pattern to use when tightening the cover? The surfaces of the cover are straight and without defects.
As for answers from me, in spite of my low level of mechanical expertise, I've learned tons about the tractor's fuel system over the past year in my effort to get the unit running well again. No more ethanol in the gas for us.
