Good job Sir. I’ve accomplished the same type of repairs in my past. Working on motorcycles as a kid. I actually used gasket material to make mine. But you have to do what you have on hand👍🤠
I would have used gasket material but everything we had was way too thick. The thickness of the gasket sets the endplay of the pump gears, and if you use material too thick, it will give too much clearance, killing the pump's oil pumping capabilities.
Good job. Other than the pan being a pain it didn't look like too bad of a job. Nice easy cheap fix. Like how you made the gasket. Innovation at its finest.
For sure the new tractors aren’t that simple to fix and parts wouldn’t be accessible either. Couldn’t find a gasket for a new one laying on the shop floor. Been working on a 10 year old tractor last couple days. Loader valve, tractor manufacturer was bought out by another company last couple years. Call dozens of places and no one can come up with parts list or a new valve. Valve is made in turkey. I bet I can’t find parts on the shop floor for it no matter how long I look. Lol
You can make many gaskets for even newer tractors. But it's actually even harder to get parts for new equipment than old stuff nowadays. Even brands like Case IH and John Deere struggle to get some parts in a timely fashion. I've heard reports of several days or even weeks to get parts for current models.

It's still working so far. I don't trust the housing, though.
In the Army we called it "Tap a gasket".
That's quite accurate...
Gd day Ty Interesting video. I always thought low oil pressure was bad bearings
Ths
Not on those. And not always on everything else. It could be a weak pressure relief spring, too.
I felt like it was worth it to pull the pickup tube off when I did my BN oil pump plate. It's amazing how much oil sneaks through those little gaps.
Yes but on the intake side, if it leaks at all then the pump won't suck.
Wish i had a buck for every gasket i made with nothing more than a hunk of cardboard and a small ball pein hammer back in the day.
And they worked just fine, I'm sure of that.
