I have my '50 JD B torn down completely--except transmission. As I took things apart, the gaskets acted and looked like there wasn't any sealant on them. Could this be? Question: As I put this tractor back together (oil pump, first reduction gear cover, power-trol, etc.) what kind of gasket sealant should I use--if any--and where should I use it? I'm assuming not on the head gasket. Any help you can offer would be great!

BJ, this is almost like asking what someone's favorite kind of ice cream is..:-) Here is what I use on some of these gaskets. On the reduction gear housing gasket I normally use 3M weatherstrip glue to not only seal but to hold the gasket in place. On the oil pump gasket you don't want to use ANY gasket sealer because if you do it will affect the side clearance on the gears and also affect the oil pressure. When I assemble an oil pump I usually use some gun grease to soak the gasket and hold it until I can install the bolts. The same goes for the Pow'r Trol gasket. I use silicone very sparingly on some dry paper gaskets but you never want to use silicone on an oil soaked gasket. Only my opinion. Mike
