Didn't know what to put for the title, but I need some advice. When restoring a tractor, and say for example you are putting gaskest in the engine, how do you keep them from leaking? What I mean is I restored my 1949 Farmall H back in the summer of 2000, and it looked great fresh out of the shop. I use it for a work tractor, but the gaskets are leaking, whats the proper thing I should have done so they wouldn't have leaked? I was inexperienced when I restored the H and it was my first restoration. But I put the gaksets on dry and by themselves. Should I have used a gasket compound? The surfaces were good and smooth and no old gaskets. If you use gasket compound how long should it cure? Please help, I want to restore a different tractor in the near future, and I want to get it looking good, and not leaking oil anywhere. Thanks!
