Got a 8030 and 8050 I struggle to make the top of either 100% water tight. How do other folks go about it. I thought about using the caulk on a roll they use to seal seams on grain bins.

Silicone the bolts. Thats stopped it on one of my 8000s. Haven't done the others. Plus a new seal that goes under the top helps too.

AGCO has a gasket kit and rubber washers for the bolt. Haven't had any problems with the one I put on my 6080.

Buy rubber washers for the bolts or make your own with inner tube and a hole punch.
