Built for Real Farm Work

These MF 65 and 165 tractors with the bulletproof Perkins 203 engine are still working hard on farms everywhere – running hay equipment, powering feed mixers, and handling loader work day after day. When your water pump gasket starts leaking, you’re not just losing coolant – you’re risking overheating during critical field work. This gasket gets you back to a leak-free cooling system so you can focus on farming, not constantly checking coolant levels.

Made to Last

That thin gasket between your water pump and engine block lives in a harsh environment, constantly heat cycling from cold morning starts to full operating temperature while dealing with coolant and engine vibration. This replacement gasket uses modern materials that handle these conditions better than the original, giving you years of leak-free service.

Installation Notes

Replacing a water pump gasket isn’t complicated, but doing it right matters. Clean both mounting surfaces thoroughly with a scraper and remove any old gasket material or corrosion that could cause a comeback leak. Install the gasket dry – no sealers needed unless your mounting surfaces are pitted. This is also a great time to flush and refill with fresh coolant.
