Hi I just bought a gasket kit from yesterdays tractor so I can replace my timing gear cover gasket and it's doesn't fit. Is there more than one gasket. Or has my engine been replaced? Can I tell by looking at the serial number? SN 1619268 The guy from yesterday tractor said they have sold fifty this month and had no problems. thanks for any help. Brent

The original parts book gives the same gasket from 1957 to end of production, it may be that you have got a replacement Ferguson/Perkins engine fitted or YT are supplying a gasket set for a P3/Ferguson engine rather than the F3 Ford one. They seem to have supplied a lot of Dexta gasket sets in a month for the number of Dextas in the US so I would think they may be using the one set to cover the MF 35 as well.

There must be two types for the Perkins 3 cylinder as a recent engine gasket kit that came from a well known supplier, had two cover gaskets of slightly different shapes.
Obviously only one of the supplied fitted the Dexta.
