I'm looking for a first reduction gear cover gasket [clutch gasket]for an 46 A. Called John Deere and they want 45.00 for it. Does anyone have a source for that gasket at a down to earth price? It would be a lot cheaper just to use RTV. Dale
 
Dale. If you don't find one at the price you want. Buy gasket material the same thickness or close and make your own. I have used a thin coat of grease on the part that needs to gasket the lay the piece on the gasket material to be made. The grease will make a outline including bolt holes. Then use scissors or razor blade to cut the gasket. Simple !!!! Takes very little time.
 
I cut gaskets out with a hammer. Lay the gasket material on the cover, use a hammer and tap around the edges and it will cut the material on the sharp edge of the cover. Use the rounded end of a ball-peen hammer to do the bolt holes. Do a couple of holes first and put bolts on them to hold things in place. Dad taught me this 40 years ago. Mike
 
Same here, Mike. I've done that for many years. I save the posterboard-like material from under seed pallets. Works great for gasket material. Mike
 
Well I made a gasket out of a 49 cent poster board. I used your hammer trick. Worked great. That's 45 bucks I can put into the tractor somewhere else. Thanks Dale
