Gasket Scraper

This is the best gasket scraper I have found in years. The beveled edge makes it perfect for sharpening. The sharper it is the better it is for removing gaskets. This also means it will cut your fingers and I have the scars to prove it. It only took 5 stitches to sew up my finger.

Scraping Gaskets

A unwelcome part of almost any repair job is removing the gasket off of the pieces of the assembly. Especially if they were assembled with #2 permatex. It sets up really hard!!. I have got to the point that I use white grease to install my gaskets. If white grease gets in the oil it will mix with the oil and not clog up pumps and filters. If you use to much silicone or permatex then it can cause damage or plug up the intake on oil pumps. I bought a good putty knife about 25 years ago and paid about $12.00 for it and have misplaced it several years ago. I have found and purchased a couple of paint scrapers to remove gaskets and they were not as good as the old fashion putty knife that I had earlier. The original putty knife I had I could sharpen it with a piece of emory cloth and I have the scars to show what happens when you slip and cut a finger instead of the gasket. A sharp putty knife makes it easy to get all of the gasket off the metal.
I was at Lowes getting paint for the office's we built here in the store and walked by a putty knife hanging on the wall and it was almost a carbon copy of the one I had earlier. The handle was plastic instead of wood. It cost me about $6.00 and I bought it home and it works perfectly.
I will try to post a picture of it tomorrow. So, if you are removing hard to get off gaskets go to Lowes and get a good putty knife.

New Repair Kits for Remote Valves

I got a visit from one of my suppliers a few days ago and I now have in stock repair kits for the hydraulic selective control valves on JD tractors from the late model 3020 & 4020 up through the 40 series tractors. It also fits the utility tractors like the 2030 2440 2640 1020 820 and others.
I also have the same kit that fits the 50 series tractors that have the ISO style couplers. These will be alot lower priced than Deere.
These kits have the 4 valves and both of the oring kits in them to rebuild the Selective Control Valve Assembly that bolts on the back of the tractor. This is the valve that the remote hydraulic cylinder lines plugs into.

I am building a JD 4320 engine in my spare time( lol) I could not work on it tonight because of the end of month paperwork that has to be done to get statements out to our customers.
Still got a little work to do on them.

JD 9500 Combine Radiator

I left after work last night and drove 100 miles one way to deliver a JD 9500 Combine radiator to one of my customers. I got 2 birds with one trip, on the way I stopped by one of my customers in Timmonsville SC and picked up a clutch core and continued on to Kingstree to deliver the radiator. My buddy introduced me to a couple of local farmers while we were standing around talking at the local watering hole. I got home at 11:45 pm. Sometimes I will deliver but I do not make a habit of it. It was a good trip!!
