| You can find a rubber O-ring that will work just fine. |

| I ordered one from ago and it is a thin felt strip. I am not sure how even to make it work. I don,t use anything and it doesn't really leak or sweat oil. |

| The gasket is there for a reason. I'd imagine under load there is dust possibly being drawn in thru that area if it isn't sealed up somehow. I'm telling you, a proper thickness and diameter O-ring works really well. |

Oil level in the bowl must be pretty low. I have mine filled to the mark and with no gasket, it drips out pretty steady when using the tractor. Looking at getting a gasket in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully that will help. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '63 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| Sandy Lake won't order them anymore. They say the new AGCO ones are a little too short and don't seal all the way around |

I had no idea there was supposed to be a gasket there. Plus one more on the spell check... ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |
