hydraulic pan and housing gakets

On the 4 digit olivers do any of you use gasket sealer on both sides of the 2 gaskets or glue them to to the housing and the rear tractor housing and grease the pan sides like the tech manual says?

I have had the hydraulic housing off my 1550 twice in the last year or so. There was one tear and a little damage to the gaskets. I laid each one on a piece of plywood and cleaned both sides with laquer thinner and smoothed out any rough spots the first time. Didn't leak a drop both times. If you hoist and pry it off carefully you can save the gaskets. Make sure the top on stays down on the main case with the pan. The stepped dowels tent to lift the pan when you raise it. Make sure the pan's flange is nice and flat with no burrs around the bolt holes and put the better gasket on top of the pan when you reassemble.

I'd just clean everything real good and not use any sealer at all. Those things are a bear to get apart anyway because of those opposite facing dowels. Anything that's gonna make it stick down even worse the next time ain't a good idea.

Let me add, when I had mine off the first time I cleaned all the tapped holes around the main case. I'm pretty fussy about this kind of work so I don't have to do it twice. I filled each hole with solvent and blew them out with compressed air. Then ran a tap all the way in and blew them out again. Replaced any bolts with questionable threads. Tighten the bolts evenly.

I used No. 2 Permatex, on the 1650 I did.

They also had a special pan gasket for the tractors with the CAT 3 hitch. I don't know if it still available or not.
