Sorry for the delay...Christmas break here at work. Anyway, you've probably already figured out that the gasket is pretty simple to make. Use a few different rifle casings to punch out the screw & jet holes and you're in business. Be careful, as I learned from experience that you can't make several generations of gasket in a row. It just keeps "growing", and eventually, it interfered with the float...my mistake. Just make sure everything clears.

I've got a few hydraulic leaks I've been working on, but for the most part, I've got them cleaned up.

When you change the hy-tran, be sure you've got a BIG container. It holds 16 gallons, and there's no valve, you just pull the plug and out comes a 1 inche stream of fluid, under lots of pressure just from the sheer amount of liquid. I use a half a plastic drum cut to fit under the drawbar/PTO.

Hy-tran filter is easy to change, and clean the metal screen w/carb cleaner or gas.

I've been meaning to change the temp guage on my tractor for a long time, just haven't done it yet. Let me know how you get along and I may learn something too. This is my first tractor, and I've never done much wrenching before I bought it. I've already had this thing split for clutch changeout and the top off the transaxle to retrieve a dropped bolt...long story, just suffice it to say that when you pull the access panel off to add hy-tran fluid, always remove the bolts and washers and put them in a safe place BEFORE you pull that plate off.
