You need to look at the serial number breaks on the JD "B" tractors. The original head gasket number is a B368R. It is used on serial number B1000-59990. Basically all of the un-styled JD "B" tractors. Actually used more years than some of the later gaskets.
The styled tractors had more serial number breaks as the engine was changed over the years.
You can look this up on jdparts.com. It is a PDF file you can down load and store a copy. If your signed up you can also price the parts and see if your local JD dealer has them.
