Is there a easy way to get the oil pan back on my wd45?It seems very hard to get the pan and gaskets to go on easy.Can you remove the front tire supports(wide front)I really need the tractor to run asap, I just can't seem to get it to take a good seat.Thanks in advance.

First, do not cut the cork end seals, they are supposed to be "long" and compressed so they seal between the pan ends and the main bearing cap surfaces and at the end of the cork seals at the block surface as well. If they are the correct length to start with they will shrink in a short while and leak. Use four studs in the block equally spaced, instead of 4 of the bolts to position the pan and start it in place, put nuts on the studs and pull the pan in place but do not tighten, then add the bolts and just snug them up. then remove the 4 nuts and 4 studs and replace with the 4 pan bolts. If you are not concerned with "original" looks you can leave the studs and nuts in place permanently. Tighten evenly and pull the pan tight uniformally. I like to use "High Tack" permatex or contact cement on one side of the gasket and silicone sealer on the other side of the gasket as it allows the gasket to "seat" and forms a good seal. I have also had good results using only the cork end seals and NO pan gasket at all. Using only silicone sealant between the pan flange and the block surface and silicone on one side of the cork seals. I have never been able to get a pan on and keep the cork end seals in place with silicone on both sides of the cork end seals. I like the "high temperature" orange or "copper" color silicone sealer best for this application. If you like to use permatex or some other gasket cement on both sides of the pan gasket you can hold it in place by tying it at the outside of each of the pan bolt holes with light sewing thread and just leave the thread in place, it will hold the gasket in place on the pan until the bolts are in. Good luck, Gordon in IN

There are some little metal clips that you can use to hold the front and rear corks in place to get it up there. I don't think it should be all that hard. Dad has done both of his. I did mine with the engine upside down in the shop. You could also use a thin coat of RTV sealant to help hold the gasket in place. Maybe use a small screwdriver to move the gasket around in the holes? I know dad's WD45 is a wide front, but I wasn't there when he did it, so I don't know what tricks he used.
