Original gasket help

1 Attachment(s)

I’m getting ready to restore a very leaky original #55517 for the first time. I'm trying to get my gaskets and seals together and I can’t find any info on the reduction drive housing gasket 376 216 R1. Is this gasket something that would normally be changed out in a rebuild?
So far I’m changing out the axle seals, axle bushings, input shaft seal, shifter and back plate gaskets.

Any help would be greatly appreciated .

If you have a tractor supply store nearby, you can buy gasket material pretty affordably. If it's just a flat gasket, it's easy to trace it around a given housing.

What he said.

Looks like it had water in it.

I don't know why you can't find any information on that gasket. It is still available new from CCC. $13 or so.

ALL gaskets and seals get changed on a "rebuild"..... ALWAYS.

Im sure NAPA has gasket material too. It's handy to have a couple rolls around. You can make any gasket out of it with scissors and a cheap set of punches from China Freight. ($5)

I use old brass shell casings as a punch. Not optimal, but they get the job done :)
