i switched rear ends because of diff lock etc on a ford 3000. The gasket that I bought was from new holland and was a metal gasket from tranny to rear end. I did not put any goober stuff on it. I haven't added oil yet. Should I have used sealer? I cleaned pretty well.

I would have put some sealant on it, I hate taking something back apart because of a leak especially after you dump a bunch of oil in it.

"Cleaned it pretty well" may or may not be good enough no matter what. A 5 gallon pail of tiger snot won't make up for poor mating surface prep.

I will clarify my response. Surfaces were clean with no residual gaskets at all. My fear is that the new metal gasket from new holland would require a sealant to be put on. If the surfaces are clean is the gasket adequate without sealant?

You should be just fine without sealant.

I think I used a sealant on mine that was resistant to gear oil when I had to replace the lower link pins for the lift arms.

The Ferguson System Principal An implement cutting through the soil at a certain depth say eight inches requires a certain force or draft to pull it.
