I replaced the PTO solenoid on my 455 trying to correct a no enagage PTO issue. Didn't fix it but had a question about the install. I had to remove the seat pan and lift the fuel tank to be able to get a wrench on the solenoid stem.
When I installed the new stem the gasket marked 8 never touched the tranny case and the armature became tight. I could still move the gasket around. I removed and installed the old armature. Same issue. I pulled out the solenoid valve guts and tried again same results. Verify assembly via diagram. I ended up using two numer 8 gaskets. Not sure what isn't right here.
