Gaskets

Hi All,

Where would I source gaskets for my early 1010? Does JD actually still stock these items? I need the gaskets for the covers on the top of the finals and i need the gasket for the PTO cover part# T12840T

Thanks
Jim

JD has a lot of the gaskets still if they don't you can get gasket paper or if is not very big i use either laundry soap or cereal boxes and make my own

Thanks JT. Believe it or not, I went looking for gasket paper the other day and none of the local parts stores carried it anymore. I guess its a dying art! I used to use pizza boxes but I would like to try to get the correct gasket before resorting to that.

My local NAPA store carries a lot of variety of gasket material. However, it is in rolls about one foot wide. I also use cardboard for wider gaskets.

Quite often I use the blue goo from the tube.(budding poet

) Seems I never get the adjust right so, I need to remove those top covers and the goo works great there. gregjo1948

JimG, to answer your original question Deere does still carry many of the gaskets for earlier crawlers such as the 1010 (I have 2010s which were made in the same time period).

However depending on the type of gaskets some are becoming more rare- for instance last year I went to Deere for a transmission rear cover gasket and they had to search a bit across the country. When it came it was in the original box from the 60s and the parts guy remarked that the box was probably worth more than the gasket

Blue goo or any of the other color goos make really poor gaskets as a whole. If you want a gasket "eliminator", get some Right Stuff by Permatex, it is a true gasket eliminator, same concept as used by the OEM's now in cars.
Gaskets are still pretty much readily available as is gasket material, just depends on where you look.

I only use the goo on dry applications where there's no oils involved and no pressure. It keeps rain and dirt out just fine. gregjo1948

Yes, works great for that, I had no end of trouble using it as a gasket dressing, finally gave up on it for that.
