There are no obvious cracks or gouges on either mating surface. I have cleaned and prepared both mating surfaces with rubbing alcohol. I attach the sticky side of the gasket to the pump, then carefully slide it into place before bolting it back into position.
Like I said before, my other tractor does not leak at all after I replaced the gasket. This one is giving me fits.
I am thinking about putting two gaskets on it, back to back. Has anyone tried this?
I am also thinking about replacing the entire rear end. I don't know...
