What gasket(s) are you looking for/at? A quick look at the online parts catalog looks like the gasket for the bottom pan of the final drive shows two different gaskets were used, due to a production change to the final drive housings. One is for crawlers serial number 20538 and prior. The second gasket is for crawlers serial number 20539 and after. Your serial number, 070582, puts it after 20539 so you would use that gasket ((T24865). For low serial numbers they do not always show the "0" at the beginning of the serial numbers, so if you only see 5 digits you can generally be correct by figuring they left that place holder "0" off.

If the bottom pan gasket is not what you are looking at, please describe better what you need and someone might be able to help more specifically.

The following explanation comes from the parts book:

SERIAL NUMBER LISTING INFORMATION
SERIAL NUMBER INFORMATION IS LISTED TO SHOW ON WHICH MACHINES EACH PART CAN BE USED; FOR
EXAMPLE:
- THE PART CAN BE USED ON ALL MACHINES.
000000- THE PART CAN BE USED ON ALL MACHINES BEGINNING WITH THE SERIAL NUMBER LISTED.
-000000 THE PART CAN BE USED ON ALL MACHINES UP TO AND INCLUDING THE SERIAL NUMBER
LISTED.
000000-000000 THE PART CAN BE USED ON ALL MACHINES BETWEEN AND INCLUDING THE SERIAL NUMBERS
LISTED.
WHEN XXXXXX’S ARE LISTED IN PLACE OF A SERIAL NUMBER, A SERIAL NUMBER CHANGE WAS MADE BUT THE
EXACT SERIAL NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THE CATALOG WAS PRODUCED.
