medicpelle Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Looking for all three gaskets for the thermostat and thermostat housing on a 673. Thermostat is good just need all new gaskets. Is there new part numbers I could use to get new ones? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42632-help-with-gaskets/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 probably the cheapest and easyist way to get one I can't imagine what a NOS gasket would cost if you could find it Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Freightrain Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Isn't the same part for even later model stuff? 237/285/300? Should be available at local Mack dealer then?I just did the hammer trick to make a gasket for my compressor mount. Didn't want to go through the hassle of buying one at Mack, got some paper and made it.I've got a box full of random gaskets for a 673. Can't guarantee there are ones in it? I can look around if you like. Not really sure what they look like or the sizes(as my 673 is all together). Can you post up nice full size pictures?

medicpelle Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Not sure on getting them from Mack, I just figured they would not have them. I'll get some pics up later. The hammering won't work on for what I'm needing, two are for the thermostat and one is for the housing that is raised and not flat.

41chevy Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yes they do, talk to Barry at WATTs and tell him you are from BMT (here) so does NAPA if they will look for them in a paper catalog not the computer.
