Henk, just so i can be sure, which way are the ones on your tractor? What would happen if they are round the wrong way?

Don’t know Nick,
but I assume it wont run or it runs uncontrolled.
At mine, the upper one on the inlet is the big pipe and is connected to the outside of the engine connector from the vacuum unit.
The other one is smaller but there are models that have the same sized pipes.

Nick wrote:result! i have now put it back on and its ok! Got another new gasket aswell, however the new one they sent, was MUCH better quality than the one in the re-build kit (Agriline). Just got the front axle to put back on and then i can wheel her out and start her. This hopefully will be sometime in the week or next weekend. How many people does it take to get it back on do you reckon?
Hi Nick, good to hear you are making progess. I hope to put a new head gasket on my Power Major and I have ordered from Agriline before. Do you know the part number of the second one you received, I would like to get one of good quality before I start breaking her down. Thanks.
