[AT] JD 60 manifold gasket

There's a time and place for everything. We had an A that had blown through 
on the exhaust side as long as I can remember. Well eventually the gasket 
disintegrated further and the tractor ran lean and couldn't ignore it any 
longer. I was young, dad wasn't much for fixin' if it ran.

Well after years of exhaust blowing through it wore the manifold and the 
block a bit. So we put right sized bead of high temp silicone on both sides 
of the gasket. It held for for many years and was still holding when we sold 
it.

Sealants can't always perform miracles. Picking the right one is important. 
If some is good, more usually isn't better.

YMMV,
