Description

If you’ve noticed oil seeping around your valve cover or that telltale smell of oil burning on hot engine parts, your rocker cover gasket has probably given up the ghost. These old Fordson Major tractors are tough as nails, but after decades of service, gaskets dry out and crack. This replacement gasket seals things up tight and keeps your oil where it belongs—in the engine, not on the ground or creating a fire hazard.

What You’re Getting

Precision-cut gasket that matches your original Major series specifications exactly
Oil-resistant material that handles the heat and pressure of your engine’s valve train
Proper compression seal prevents both oil leaks and dust contamination
Direct replacement—no modifications or special tools needed for installation

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Fordson Major, Super Major, or Power Major has earned its keep on your farm through decades of reliable service. These are the tractors that built American agriculture—simple, tough, and dependable when maintained right. Whether you’re running hydraulics for a loader, powering a PTO implement, or just doing daily chores, these machines keep working when properly sealed up.

Made to Last

Farm tractors see temperature swings from cold morning starts to long hot days in the field. This gasket is manufactured from materials that resist the compression set and cracking that kills cheap gaskets. The oil-resistant compound maintains its flexibility through countless heat cycles, keeping your valve train properly sealed and lubricated.

Good to Know

Clean both the rocker cover and cylinder head surfaces thoroughly before installing—any old gasket material or dirt will guarantee a comeback leak. Don’t over-tighten the cover bolts; these old castings can crack if you get too aggressive with the wrench. Torque evenly in a crossing pattern to ensure uniform gasket compression.
