I think your lathe is the answer, but you need to go a bit further. Drill a little bit out of the seat, just enough to make it shiny. Use as big a bit or Phillips head screwdriver that will fit through the threads, to keep the seat perpendicular to the screw. Now turn the point on the screw to the same angle as whatever device you used to clean up the seat. I personally think an old screwdriver is best because you can alter the shank with your lathe for a perfect fit for maximum accuracy. If youre still having trouble in the gasket area, first make sure the casting is flat. Over time, the pull of the bail will warp it, making it impossible to seal with a ordinary gasket. If there is enough meat , you can true it up with your lathe. If there is not enough meat, such as in a Farmall 460D, then make a steel gasket out of a flat washer, then glue it in the casting with epoxy. You now have a flat gasket surface that will easily seal with the gasket material of your choice, and work by tightening with your fingers, the way it was originally intended to work.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
