I understand the frustration but have to ask...and that the dealership should be responsible for the cost of the new gasket since it was their screwup.....but....If the tractor is needed so badly, why wait all that time for a new gasket when one can be made in just a few minutes with a piece of gasket paper from the local parts house? I was in my local O'Reillies this afternoon and they had several varieties of gasket paper in stock from the plain old vegitable fiber to a rubberized paper, which would be great for a water pump. All you've got to do is ask, and regardless of the name any good parts house should have some in stock.
All you need to do is put the sheet of material over the piece where the gasket goes, and using a small ball-pein hammer, tap out a bolt hole with the ball end. Insert a bolt in that hole, and then tap out another. Insert a bolt in that hole and between the two of them the material should be located and stay where you put it. Then you can start to gently tap around the edges of the part, again with the ball end of the hammer, to make the gasket. Dependent upon how thick the material is it should either cut through just by the tapping, or worst case leave enough of an impression that you can follow it and cut the gasket out with scissors, a razor knife, etc.
Like I said, I can understand the problem your having but if the tractor is so badly needed, there is an alternative to all of the waiting for a factory gasket...

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
