For how few "544" gaskets CaseIH sells in a year, there is no way on God's green earth that they are going to retool and develop a "modern" gasket.
It's not as simple as punch a new gasket out of a modern material. The gasket needs to be tested to see if it fits, if it seals, and if it holds. That's months of R&D on a FIFTY YEAR OLD TRACTOR who's engine was only ever used in that ONE tractor.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, there has to be a REASON for CaseIH to keep parts in stock for FIFTY YEAR OLD tractors. It's not "goodwill to the customer." How many people with Farmall 544's are coming in and leasing a new Steiger or combine every year? "Parts are their bread and butter" but parts for <10 year old Steigers and combines, not the guy piddling around on his old 544 that needs a gasket and hasn't set foot in the dealership in 5 years.
I was in the CaseIH dealer a sum total of 4 times last year, and I don't think I spent $1000 total. Some oil, some plow parts, and a couple of steel hydraulic lines for 56 series tractors. The way some of you talk I should be expecting the royal treatment...

I've been working very hard to get our two rundown Farmall A's sanded, primed , bondo�d, fiberglassed and painted before our big local tractor show called the Tulip Festival. My husband Ben came in the garage one rainy day to see if he could "help". Well if you knew Ben you wouldn't want him anywhere near your spray gun, fiberglass or bondo! So I pulled out the 2 old yucky looking magne
