For many block and transmisson gaskets, Deere recommended smearing them with ordinary grease before installation.

Nowadays, restorers probably wouldn't like the dirt that would stick to the edges of the gaskets, and the stuff that would ooze out on their new paint!

Like the other poster said, if you use silicone sealer, just use the smallest amount that will seal the joint, as you don't want gobs of it inside the engine, where it will eventually swell up, fall off, and make it's way into the oiling system.
