Try Steiner 1 800 234 3280. Ask them if they can send you a catalog. I order manuals from them. They maybe able to help you.

try Olsons Gaskets 360-871-1207, That's where I got my 630 gaskets.

Head gaskets are Deere only last I heard. Other than that you can get custom stuff for pullers such as copper head gaskets etc but then Deere will seem cheap.

When I did my 830 the only place I found for the gaskets was the JD dealer. Also found out a lot of the gaskets aren't available any more

Yep, I made several for mine too, most notably was the timing gear cover. Took the biggest sheet of gasket paper I could buy to make it. The first reduction gear cover is still available from Deere ($50.00).

Fel-Pro does or did offer some two cylinder gaskets.

Oh, its definitely worth it. They are still a valuable tractor, so it stands to reason that they are worth more in good working order.
