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...
