I just replaced the head gasket on my 9N a month ago..an easy job..and like the others have stated, use the soft head gasket and not the metal plated one...use no gasket sealer etc...

Since the head is off, do a thorough job of cleaning everything..it won't take long a soft wire brush on a drill and some carb cleaner does a good job. The nuts on mine came off easily, but it would be a good idea to hit them with something like PB Blaster a couple of days ahead.

The only thing I found was, I had to check was the torque on the nuts. Once you have everything bolted down and torqued to 55lbs, heat the engine up and let it cool and then re-torque the nuts again, do it several times. The soft gasket does give quite a bit.... other than that an easy job.

Best of Luck,

DHM

NAPA head gasket: NAPA# NGA-1950

It will cost you about $25 or so (more than the ones you get on the internet), but are of the softer variety and is a very good head gasket.

HTH,

You're gonna need Mr. Peabody and his WABAC Machine to visit a Ford Tractor Dealer. May be easier to go to NAPA.

Get the soft fibre one.. it is slightly more forgiving of minor irregularities inthe gasket surface.

Dont get the all metal one. Everyone will agree on that one. Got a dealer near by? It is always nice to support the local guys..

Actually I have not had a problem wif the metal one. BTW I use sealer on either type. Lots of engines use a metal head gasket. the N izz more pron to the block surface b'n in rite bad condition. I have found that neither gasket will seal, but would more than likely go wif the soft one in that case. I would go wif the flow and go soft, me it don't matter.
