| I need the really thin gasket paper for my B oil pump. As I understand it, the paper gasket should be around 0.007 inches. The thinnest paper I can find is 0.015 inches. Any suggestions for suppliers of this paper? Or can I use a paper bag or piece of paper? |

That's about 3 human hairs. I don't know if wax paper would hold under the heat or not. Parchment paper probably would. I'd think you'd want something that compresses a little. |

Yeah, I guess it will compress. I'll try the 0.015 and see. |

| You could always get the correct "already made" gasket from Agco. I can still get the hydraulic pump and PTO gear box gaskets for the WD/WD45 from them, so the oil pump gasket for the B/C/CA should be available, I would think. Rick |

| The end play was too great with the 0.015 inch gasket. I got some 0.007 gasket paper and that worked within the specification for end play (0-001-0.003). Thanks for the help. |

I was wondering how thick (thin ??) an aluminum pop can is ? it'd compress a weee bit. Jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Dad used to call it onion skin paper, not sure if that is a technical term or farm jargon? Every B/C pump I have worked on had enough wear on the end of rotor and blades that the gasket is not needed for clearance. I flat file the case and cover only enough to remove burrs then bolt the cover on without a gasket. if it turns over with no stiffness take the cover off add a THIN bead of silicone bolt it back together and its ready to go.

When I bought a C I got several gasket kits and one had multiple thicknesses of gaskets for the oil pumps. Bob ------------- 4 B's, 1 C's,3 CA's, 2 G's WD, D14, D15, B-1, B10, B12, 712S, |
