Head gasket dilemma.

[wayne64]

I am working on a 1965/66 cast Italian orchard tractor with a 35 up slanzi air coold diesel trying to find head gaskets i found some info. If correct the 435l and the lambardini 12ld share the same gasket just hate to spend another 150.00 on gaskets I can't use any help locating the right gaskets would be appreciated

$150.00 for gaskets is not out of line in todays market. Head gaskets for some of the New Holland skid steers are over $200.00 each. Something as odd as what you are working on, I'd say 150.00 is a bargain.

I agree.
I had a Cast tractor with a loader over 55 years ago.
Stout 2 cylinder diesel.

What does this mean?
just hate to spend another 150.00 on gaskets I can't use

It's not the money it the fact that they will say these gaskets fit so you buy them then they don't fit once you get them just trying to find the right gaskets

Is the head gasket a copper ring? I think I have some leftover Lombardini head gaskets.

That my point ,you are willing to pay , you just want the correct gaskets. Here is what I do when looking for obscure parts in USA. I go to country of origin. If I don't speak the language I find someone who can. You can try Google translate and may have some luck. In this new age of AI phrase your question very precise. Full model number than 12 ld . Possibly 475 or 477. Old gasket thickness. More info is usually better. If you are lucky you should get to Italian websites. Spanish reader could probably figure it out if you don't have someone who reads Italian. Post back your results. Good luck.

I don't think this is correct but they have parts for 12LD. I found dimensions but it was a zeros.

Looks like the right inside dia, but bigger outside. 0.8 mm thick.

 

[wayne64]

Yes

You wouldn't want to sale them would you

 

[Duner Wi]

Correct thickness IMO is important. So far I have seen, .75 mm, .80 mm,.90 mm and owners estimation of 1,5 mm. I would be looking for same thickness as removed or you may come to grief with too thin . Too thick and reduced performance and harder starting. Some one could have doctored this thing in prior lifetime and you really need 1,5mm. gaskets. Have fun.
