Sediment Bowl Gasket

I need to get a new Sediment Bowl Gasket. The old one is cork. Are people using the cork as org. or are there rubber gaskets that you can get now that hold up better?

The old parts book shows they were sold in 20 count packages. I see that they may have replaced them often in the early days.

Mine is leaking gas because I think I over tightened it. I did not use to leak.
 
I bought a sheet of cork material from Tractor Supply and just make my own for my tractors. Trace the bowl with a good knife then cut out the middle and away you go.
 
You can go to carquest or O'riley and get them,they are cork and they come in two different sizes.I keep a few of both on the shelf.If you need the parts number let me know if you cant find them
 
Deere sells them in singles, too. Those old parts book references were for the parts guy so he'd know if he was about to get stuck with 19 extra slow moving parts.
 
If it has been overtightened much it bends the pot metal housings makeing them leak worse. you may still have the old cast iron type ? I don't like those as they never really shut off the fuel flow.
Everytime I pull off a fuel bowl I use a new gasket. They never seem to be reuseable for me.
 
I will use nothing but cork.

As I recall the cork ones for Ford 8N fits the bowl to a T.

As I looked at your original post I did not see what you are putting the gasket on.

There is a larger one I found that is the same for the Farmall M and the D 15 II Allis.

They are out there and you don't have to go to NAPA or Mother Deere.
 
Last one I got from Deere was a rubber one and it has held good. Some of the cork ones are made from cork with to big of particles and they tend to leak. The better ones are of finer material and may even be rubberized.
 
Tractor Supply and Rural King stores sell cork gaskets for about 3 bucks. Comes with the screen if needed. They work great. If I get another 30 years on this one, I'd say its cheap enough.
 
Ditto - cork. They can be had for about $.50 (buy a few). Been using them since '71 (replaced 2). Yep, the one for the Ford 'N' fit mine. HTH
