Don't you just love it when a parts guy tells you "That's old, time to junk it!" Our local John Deere dealer is becoming that way also. Told me my 1207 mowerconditioner was too old. The parts guy next to him who knows me says "you should ask him what he runs it with if you think that's old" If it still works why replace it?!!!!

Northwest Truck 1-800-665-9248 ask for Harold he should have all gaskets and o-rings for them. Only things that are totally extinct for them are water pumps , oil pumps, and liners. But if you have a rebuildable core to work with Northwest Truck can rebuild water pumps and oil pumps. And I know a place that can make liners for them too if you ever need. But I don't see why gaskets should be an issue to get even from mack there should be old stock somewhere. Some one at his dealer didn't want to be bothered to look for it! I found that out on the weekend when getting a coolant filter for my E9 . It take the old fat spin on filter same as the older 6 cylinders do and my dealer at home told me they were getting hard to get a year or so ago, so I went 100 miles up the 401 to the mack dealer in London and hunted up an experienced parts guy I deal with there named Bill and told him what I was after and without needing the number he asked how many I wanted and went in the back and brought it out to me. Turns out the old number has been changed. That's what a good parts guy can do for you.

I just bought four brand new head gaskets for my 866 this week Mack's Chicago warehouse has them I ordered them from my local mack dealer. Most people are just to lazy to do any digging or pull out an old parts book instead of a computer to look up the part number I can give you the oem part numbers if you want

My Dad talk to some one at Watts about a year ago and they said there were still a few in the parts system.
