Description
When your TM or 40/60 series starts running rough, losing power, or you hear that telltale whistle during acceleration, there’s a good chance your intake manifold gasket has given up the ghost. A failed intake gasket lets unmetered air into the engine, throwing off your fuel mixture and letting dust bypass the air filter—two things that’ll wear out your diesel engine faster than you can say harvest season.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement gasket that seals tight between manifold and cylinder head
- Heat-resistant materials that handle the temperature cycling from cold morning starts to hot afternoon work
- Precise fit eliminates vacuum leaks that cause rough idle and power loss
- Quality construction prevents unfiltered air from entering cylinders and causing premature wear
Built for Hard-Working Tractors
This gasket fits the workhorses of many operations—the New Holland TM series from TM115 up to TM190, plus the Ford 8240, 8340, and 8360 models. Whether you’re running a TM140 pulling a chisel plow through heavy clay or using an 8340 for loader work around the farmyard, these tractors earn their keep every day. They need engine sealing that can handle the constant vibration, temperature swings, and long operating hours that come with real farm work.
Made to Last
Engine compartments on these tractors get hot and stay hot during long work days. This gasket uses materials engineered to maintain their seal through thousands of heat cycles without cracking or hardening. The precise thickness ensures proper compression while accommodating the thermal expansion that happens when your engine goes from cold to operating temperature.
Installation Notes
Replacing this gasket involves removing the intake manifold, which means disconnecting some fuel lines and air hoses. It’s a manageable job for someone comfortable with wrenches, but take your time cleaning the mating surfaces—any old gasket material or dirt left behind will cause leaks. A razor blade and some carburetor cleaner make quick work of the cleanup.
