Kind of funny, but just yesterday I drove into town and bought some cork gasket material, stuff comes in handy so I like to have it around. I had to make new gaskets for the Fergusen valve cover. It wasn't as thick as the original and I had to double it up for the crank case vent tube. All told I spent $10.06 for gasket material, about $4.00 gas, and $12.00 for my labor (3@$4.00hr.) so a grand total of $26.06. After I got done I decided to see how much I saved by making it myself.

It wasn't to show off my restoration skills (though I had tried my hand at a couple of old motorcycles in my teens and if I recall correctly, those old motorcycles were sold in boxes about one quarter finished). It wasn't to relive memories of Grampa, Dad or myself out on the back 40 nursing the Farmall pulling too many b
