Unstyled JD-D Head Gasket, where to buy

G502 · #1 11-06-2009, 11:24 PM

I am planning to pull the head on my '34 JD-D. I will need a head gasket and other assorted gaskets. Some I can make but the Head Gasket and the Manifold Gasket, probably not. I plan to check with my local dealer Monday for the head gasket. Is the dealer a good source or is there other good sources from aftermarket folks?

i have found that john deere dealers still can get most gaskets for ds,they have for my 1928 unstyled d.I paid $85 for the head gasket.

I found everything I needed at Detwiler Tractor Parts. Reasonably priced (Compared to JD Dealer) and really nice folks to talk with.

Have you tried Olsens?

I bought one a few years back from Deere without any trouble. $85 is a good price, I think I paid more. The head nut torque ie 201 ft lbs. You will need a 250 ft lb wrench to tighten to proper spec.

Any idea what the connecting rods should be torqued to,Im at that stage on my '28 d.
