Hello Gentlemen,

Awhile back I saw this posted,but cannot remember????

On my Super M,What do you use on the fuel shut off stem?? Does IH or CNH still offer the correct seal,or do I have to use something else???
 
Use Teflon pipe tape. Take about 1.5" and twist it into a rope. Remove the packing nut and wrap the tape around the shaft (with the original packing still in it) rethread the nut and tighten such that it takes a little bit of effort to use the valve handle. If it still leaks, tighten till it stops. If it locks the valve, back off some and work the packing nut and stem till it neither leaks or is too hard to turn off. Jim
 
I took my leaky shutoff valve apart and put a rubber o-ring between the stem and cap that mounts the stem to the body. So far, no leaks, and if it does, another o-ring, I guess.

(quoted from post at 18:42:59 03/25/12) I use the yellow Teflon tape that is [b:cc89c47b1a][i:cc89c47b1a]gas [/i:cc89c47b1a][/b:cc89c47b1a]& oil resistant.

That is for gas, not gasoline.

I have to disagree with you. here is what it says on the package.

certified by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) USA for usage in threaded assemblies handling Gasoline, Petroleum Oils, Propane, Butane, Naptha, Benzene, Kerosene, Natural Gas for pressures not over 100 PSIG (File No: MH 25476).
