Kind of funny, but just yesterday I drove into town and bought some cork gasket material, stuff comes in handy so I like to have it around. I had to make new gaskets for the Fergusen valve cover. It wasn't as thick as the original and I had to double it up for the crank case vent tube. All told I spent $10.06 for gasket material, about $4.00 gas, and $12.00 for my labor (3@$4.00hr.) so a grand total of $26.06. After I got done I decided to see how much I saved by making it myself. I looked it up on this site and the gaskets were the same cost as what I paid for the material. So even with $8.00 for shipping I would have been better off to just order them.
I don't mind spending a little extra to support the local guy, but geez, I can't afford to spend money like a drunken Rockefeller either.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
