[AT] Do I need gasket sealant?

[Rick Weaver]

Dean, I put sealant on just about everything except a carburetor.

I'm about to put the PTO housing back together and then back on my
tractor, and bought some new gaskets.  Would it be worth my while to go
get some gasket sealant and put it on in addition to the gaskets?

My gut feeling is not to bother with it, since I'm sure they didn't use
Permatex or whatever when they built the tractor, and we're talking
about the PTO housing rather than the engine head.  On the other hand,
if a few extra minutes and a few extra dollars means the difference
between a slow drip of oil from the PTO and no drip at all, I'd much
rather have no drip at all.

Any experiences out there one way or another?

Thanks much--
