I'm not saying there are't any, I just don't know of any. If so someone on this sight will know. You could use Permatex gasket, I would think that would work. It's just greese in those steering boxes. I was told John Deer corn head greese is what you use in them. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 50 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 50 | On top of mine there was a thin silver one,The side was so greasy couldnt tell, but yeah little silicone prolly wouldnt hurt."STOVEBOLT" is my encylopedia on such things.lol Thanx | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 50 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 50 | upon further review it has gaskets on both surfaces. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | You could buy paper gasket material and cut your own.

I have had success making gasket patterns by putting the part on a xerox machine, and then using the copy as a pattern. The Gasket Exchange Kurt | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | The easy way to make a gasket is to lay the proper thickness gasket material over the
surface transfer a few holes with the ball end of a ball-peen hammer. Run some bolts up
finger tight to hole it in place and then gently start tracing around the edges of the casting
with the flat end of the hammer. Easiest to do the inside first then finish with the out side.
Also helps to rough cut the sheet so your not fighting with all the waste pulling it out of
shape.

My focus is always to make a pattern, which I save for the next time I or someone else needs one. I routinely scan any gaskets I buy for the same reason. Saves a lot of time in the long run.
