Description
Nothing ruins a good day in the field quite like spotting a puddle of oil under your tractor. When you’re dealing with oil seeping from the back of your Ford’s engine, chances are it’s the rear main seal cover gasket that’s given up the fight. This gasket sits between the crankshaft rear seal retainer and the engine block, keeping oil where it belongs instead of all over your shop floor or field.
What You’re Getting
- Quality gasket material that handles the constant heat and oil exposure at the rear of your engine
- Precise fit for proper sealing between the seal retainer and engine block
- Durable construction that won’t compress and fail like cheap gaskets do
- Direct replacement for your original Ford gasket – no modifications needed
Built for Heavy-Duty Farm Work
This gasket fits Ford’s big iron – the 8000, 8700, 9000, and 9700 series tractors from 1968-1982, plus the TW series workhorses like the TW10, TW20, and TW30. These are the machines that handle the heavy lifting on serious farming operations, from deep tillage and heavy cultivation to running big implements during harvest season. You’ll also find it on later models like the 7810, 7910, and 8000 series tractors from the late 80s.
Made to Last
Quality gasket material resists compression set that causes old gaskets to leak, maintaining a proper seal through years of heat cycles. The area around the rear main seal sees serious heat from the flywheel and constant oil splash, so this gasket is built to handle those tough conditions without breaking down or hardening up.
Installation Notes
Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly – any old gasket material or dirt guarantees a comeback leak. Torque the bolts evenly in a crossing pattern to ensure uniform gasket compression. Check the seal retainer for warpage while you’ve got it off – a bent cover will never seal properly no matter how good the gasket is. This is typically a job you’ll tackle during a clutch replacement or rear seal service since you need to pull the transmission anyway.
