[@michaeldurling793]

Living vicariously through You Tube I will probably never be closer to a Farmall tractor of any vintage than this one, with that said I thoroughly enjoy your videos and would enjoy a gasket making tutorial. Being of advanced chronology I don't enjoy wrenching as much as a younger me but I still appreciate the skills.

[@brucemorehead8724]

Yes please on the gasket materials and sealers and process. Would be great to put in your Old Tractor Restoration playlist as a reference for us weekend warriors.

[@markmckinley5989]

I think a gasket making video would be a welcome addition. It is a bit of a lost art and fills a void that RTV does not.

[@kennybolt8329]

Yeah. Make some gaskets. I've watched my older brother make gaskets about 60 years ago out of gasket material and all the way to paste board shoe boxes. Would bring back old memories.

[@JosephOliver550]

While I have seen you make a lot of gaskets over the years, I would definitely watch a gasket making video! Your thoughts on gasket materials and gasket sealers would be a great resource. I have made several of my own gaskets in the past, but I am never very confident on which material and/or which sealer to use. It would be great to have a dedicated video as a trusted refrence for my future projects!

[@littlejason99]

I'm just going to say it... on the whole Preparation H feels good. For posterity, I too think a dedicated gasket making episode would be worthwhile.

[@steveleach7512]

A gasket making video would be great. Any information on processes, tips and tricks is fine with me. I'm sure a lot of your viewers like me are eager learn as much as we can. You're a great teacher.

[@TF856]

You have something in common with Lou Costello. He absolutely did not want to make Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. He said his 3 year old daughter could write a better script. It turned out to be the most popular movie of this career.

[@lordcaptainvonthrust3rd]

Very nice work Squatch. Personally I'd happily watch you cover the production and does and don't of making gaskets. It's been worth seeing that it CAN be done especially for anyone who's discovered they need gaskets that are otherwise unavailable 👍

[@YeahJustMe]

Though you have covered the topic before, it might be nice to do a dedicated gasket/sealer episode (Do it for the children!! :)) that covers your commonly used materials and what is used in specific situations. In terms of sealers and lubricants/chemicals, I've noticed that you avoid mentioning specific brand names (for several reasons, I imagine), but again for the new-to-the-hobby, it would likely be useful to know a general type (e.g., you use regular RTV, or a non-hardening sealer, or nothing, etc.) for common gasket/part joins.

[@danhunik7949]

Or you could save yourself some time and effort and just post a link to the video you did on gaskets and sealers.

[@cv990a4]

Dedicated episodes, appropriately titled, are also likely to have an ongoing audience - and to be a gateway drug for all things Squatch.

[@harrykoppers209]

children, hell. I'm 72 and I've done it wrong for over 60 years...

[@rawbsworld6604]

@@cv990a4hahahaha gateway drug ! I don’t care who you are that’s funny👍 😢 I should’ve come up with that one 😛🤷‍♂️ ✌️

[@rawbsworld6604]

@@harrykoppers209 and yet it worked for over 60yrs! 😳😊 wtg goodjob 😆👍

[@markdelpiere4788]

I vote for a gasket and sealer episode as well - I know you covered it during the D2 project at some point, but a refresh would be greatly appreciated. I'm the proud owner of a 1953 Tucker Sno-Cat and need to get into the transfer case soon and any tips would really help. I like to say if it isn't leaking, well it's probably out of oil.🙄 Thanks Squatch for all of your content!

[@StubProductions]

I told ya the cleaning part video would be popular! Lol! These simple tasks may seem simple to you but they are a mystery to a lot of people. Painting machinery well is the biggest mystery to me.

[@rogerallen6644]

I’m all for a gasket episode, but at this point, I’d probably watch a “how I sweep the shop episode” 😂 love the channel!

[@williamkelley7654]

I would say one video dedicated to gasket making processes would suit the channel just fine. Thank you for all the work!

[@highdesertbill]

Even though I'm 69 years old and have made literally thousands of gaskets, I would enjoy dedicated gasket/sealer episode. For us children you understand. Lol

[@robertrockwell7581]

yes to making a video. on gasket making and material used. it would be helpful to anybody restoring a tractor such as the H. or maybe even a car. nice work again stay safe.

[@stevenrapp3217]

Can't speak for everyone.......but you make a video.......I'll watch it....AND enjoy it, ALWAYS!!!

[@tmscheum]

I would watch a gasket-making video as long as it feeds the algorithm and grows the subscriber count.

[@texasjetman]

I would too

[@philsdownloads810]

New to make gaskets, scan part & laser cut gasket. Works a dream. Just bringing you into the modern times.

[@stevenmalcomb4168]

I respect the way you work so much I’d watch your how to brush your teeth video. A special how to make gaskets, install seals and whatever WILL be on my to each list. Probably at least twice. Your videos are just nice clean to the Point proficiency! Keep it up, please!

[@ListerPetternuts]

Long time subscriber now and still loving your content, Go for it with the gaskest video! If that one does well like the parts cleaning video it might be worth you considering a restoration for beginners playlist for videos of this type. You explain things very well and are clearly very skilled people could learn alot from you. I have been restoring tractors and engines for 15years now but my projects have defiantly got better since I have been watching you work.

[@bobuk5722]

Hi Toby, yup, this old child would also appreciate a gasket making video. Now, I don't own a caterpillar but this subject is of much wider interest and it would be very useful to have your life learned skills and expertise in it available. Maybe consider a 'side channel' or a playlist for these non specific skill set training videos? Make them easy for others outside the Cat community to find. Great to see Grandpa memorabilia included.

[@stanschleusener6444]

Helped my Dad remove and reinstall the belly pump several times when doing transmission work on his farmall M but never saw the inside of the pump. Thanks for showing how it comes apart.

[@mattcrom3018]

Yes, please a gasket class would be great - also might include a resource guide on where to get gaskets and what material to use on a particular application.

[@thefencepost]

A dedicated how-to is a good idea. Like it or not your career as a professional mechanic and your years of hands on experience with crawlers and tractors makes you an authoritative source. Sure there's more ways to skin a cat but in many of your operations there's just one way to do it right. Keep up the good work.

[@donaldfeiner9708]

You asked for it, YES! Pleas do make a dedicated video on how to make gaskets. I to am an old tractor guy, and now and then I run into a gasket price that will make my eyes bug out, or simply somthing I forgot to order and I don’t want to wait for a delivery. I’m in Texas, not the best or closest place to ring old tractor parts, so I have made a few, but get some varied results, probably due to material selection rather than fit. Either way, please ! An old fart wants to know!! Thank you sir.

[@ChrisWunsch-zc7cg]

Been following you for several months. I've spent the past 40+ years in the automotive field, collision, paint and restoration. I do appreciate the work and level of accuracy that you do. Keep up the great work!!!

[@andyrecord]

Do a gasket episode Squatch! First 15 minutes, classic Squatch education style and then next 45 minutes "Gasket Making ASMR"! Just 45 minutes of making gaskets video. Maybe a little bit of Bob Ross "A happy little bolt hole lives here.", "Just let the paper talk to you." (I know you covered it in past, great video on the two part gaskets, but do it again for the views!!)

[@jondavidmcnabb]

I loved the gasket making video you did in the past. It is an excellent skill and you demonstrate it extremely well.

[@BackFarms]

I think if you had a how-to playlist with videos on how you do different processes in your restorations it would be more popular than you'd think.

[@hereitbe]

Yes we need a gasket refresher! Long time viewer here and I've watch you make them before. But as my own recent experience would show, I need to learn about gasket material selection. My rebuild of a 50 year old air compressor did not go as planned. They leaked. Round (2) worked with the proper material. I'm sure many would benefit from a Master Class. Love your channel.

[@lawrencejneuser8801]

I am watching this since the H was the first vehicle I ever drove.

[@boboneill8352]

I’d certainly appreciate a video on how you make your gaskets. Many of them look better than manufactured gaskets.

[@spacemanmat]

Old school bling on newer tractor is definitely a plus. Beats having it sit round taking up space.

[@josephwarner8349]

Great to see this series. I have fond memories driving my grandfather's H Farmall raking hay when I was 10. He converted it to an aftermarket wide front. I drove it back and forth to pull the hay up into the barn. There is something about spending those hours on the machine you never forget. Nice to see your grandfather's history preserved. Hope to see it someday at Albany Pioneer Days.

[@senorpuertas]

Yes, please make a dedicated gasket making video. I don't get the chance to get out in the shop and do stuff, because I have no shop. As a mechanic, you may find certain tasks redundant, and they are, but some of your viewers don't have the opportunity to go out and get greasy. So, we're living vicariously through you.

[@Gears_N_Grease]

Gasket making video would be great . I’ve been making gaskets the way I was shown by an old timer years ago but I’d like to see how you make yours because they all come out looking like they were laser cut in a factory. Keep up the great content !

[@jatomlin1991]

Do a gasket episode! Sometime when you need some random content while cleaning parts. Please also talk about sealants, coatings, and paints. Lots of random content there that you have already covered in pieces but most of us would love a random episode talking about that stuff just for an entire episode.

[@mikemitchell948]

Yes ...a gasket making video would be greatly appreciated.....please and thank you from Canada...

[@rickyjessome4359]

Another great video Squatch! I really enjoy watching this channel. Every episode I learn something new. And for the things I did know it was great to get freshened up! I'd be more than happy to watch another gasket making video. Cheers

[@danielbutler578]

I've watched you make gaskets before and I would watch you make gaskets again. It's been a while since I made gaskets for myself so a reminder would be welcome.

[@Mr_Springy]

Great video as always. The gasket/sealer making video is a good call. I’m into Land Rovers, but have an interest in machinery in general. I don’t/won’t own a tractor or dozer, (no room/workshop) but the work you do ‘transfers’ into my hobby and I have used techniques you’ve shown when fixing my Landy. All the best Andy 🇬🇧

[@EndlessHunt]

As you said that you made the new gasket I thought it would be nice to see how you made it. So, Yes, it would be nice to see a gasket video...

[@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch]

Another piece ready to go! The H will be a beauty when done!

[@user-mw6uf7dw2q]

Yes I would also like a dedicated episode with Gasket making and what are the criteria for a different type of gasket. I assume some would need a heavier type than others so..... GO for it.

[@34k5]

As someone who has had to make gaskets, i’d greatly appreciate seeing your methods! My biggest issue has been making large round holes where i don’t have a punch. Have turned sharp edges on pipe on a lathe for an air compressor head gasket. Enjoying your videos!

[@YeahJustMe]

I do "one-use" tools (or limited-use, anyway) like that quite often. Copper tubing, black pipe, etc. Works well, fairly inexpensive...or used to be, lol.

[@classictractorprofessor3747]

I make a lot of my own gaskets for our projects, but I would definitely watch a dedicated gasket and sealer episode if you so choose to make one. It's a guarantee that a new tip or trick will be learned. It would also be beneficial to a lot of the newcomers to the hobby who haven't made their own gaskets before. Keep up the good work and the H is looking great

[@randallfilger85]

A video on gasket making plus different gasket materials would be educational. Thanks for all the videos.

[@stryk46]

Although the closest I ever get to a vintage tractor is when I see them at the Minnesota State Fair, the gasket episode would be interesting. Greater insight on what it takes to service a machine that is long out of production.

[@dwjr5129]

Yes, I would like to see a refresher on making gaskets.

[@jstutzman1301]

I would like to see a gasket video. I would like to know what works and what to avoid. Thanks for your help that you provide us viewers with all your videos.

[@mdlanor5414]

I’m binge watching all your videos from a few months ago right now. I heard you say In Part 7 of the Farm All restoration. That you wish you were on the left side of the trains locomotive going past you. I was under the impression. That class 1 freight railroads. You hired out as a Conductor then had to go to their LETP and become a locomotive engineer. If you would move. I could have got you a Conductor’s job on the railroad I worked for and retired from. Where you don’t have to become a locomotive engineer. My Grandson is a Conductor. Is 21 and made over 150K last year. With only 3 years seniority. I pretty sure you wouldn’t move and I don’t blame you. I wouldn’t if I lived and have what you have. Anyway always enjoy your videos that I binge watch to catch up. I binge watch most KZbin Channel videos. I only edited one word that I added

[@vincentvanderfeltz304]

Yes on a gasket making video. I can always learn more, even if I think I know how to do it.

[@davidhume237]

Hi Squatch. It's old hat for you but I have to make quite a number of small gaskets for small engines that you can't get OEM or aftermarket anymore. I have made many cut with blades, scissors and hole punches after tracing them with the original surfaces but I'm never happy with the result. Any guide in a future episode would be great. Keep up all the Squatch projects and stories. Love the channel and have been a watcher for about 5 years now. Dave from Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia.

[@tcmtech7515]

Years ago one of our H tractors eat its pump and locked it up hard. It torqued that drive coupler on so tight that I had to use a 1000+ ft/lb impact gun to break it loose.

[@cjb1kcb1]

Definite 'YES!' on an all-things-gaskets video! Thanks!

[@claysmagicalland9097]

Squatch all surprised we like inane stuff like parts washing. What kind of nerds do you think we are? Of course we’d like to see the gasket fabrication episode!

[@joehovanec1985]

Yes, I'd like to watch a gasket making video. You do good work Toby.

[@jefflewis6331]

Yes, please do make a "how to make gaskets" video. I would appreciate it as I'm sure a lot of others would too.

[@tamaradoggett70]

John not Tamara, yeah I agree with others, I'd watch a dedicated gasket video. I've really enjoyed the preparation H rebuild, as much as the super m and the d2.keep up the good work Squatch!

[@garymorisoli3562]

Yes, on gasket making and sealer, we can always learn something new. Thanks

[@docokd7oco443]

The gasket making video should be a real gas skit!

[@SuperMAZ007]

Victor Reinz as a gasket material maker is very respected. Specially when you deal with German made cars. I'm all hands for a gasket material video, however I will leave it for you do decide if it's worth making or not. Good job on rebuilding the pump, it looks very complicated first but actually the setup makes sense when you look at it from another perspective.

[@robertwestall3456]

Hell yeah! Do a gasket show, please!!!

[@pauldonzella5052]

I got a 230 I'm getting ready to paint. Same thing with the air filter housing except I'm going to spoon it out. Think a vid on gaskets would be a good thing. Lost art making gaskets. Love watching the "h" vids.

[@onlybrokencars5238]

Yes please to the dedicated gasket video. I’m working on an old Cub Cadet Original and have one gasket that doesn’t fit. I sealed it with rtv for now but since those two case halves have gears meshing between them, I would feel batter having the gasket thickness between them for that extra peace of mind of gear alignment. And I have to take it back apart anyway to address a bent shaft. A whole other rabbit hole. And premade gaskets are expensive.

[@tonymartin4255]

yep love cutting gaskets really satisfying would be happy to watch a video about cutting gaskets

[@mrfarmall-vk4gw]

I drilled and tapped a hole in mine and installed a vent in the very top of my reservoir, got tired of chasing leaks👍👍

[@blueboatone5653]

Please do a gasket video. For one thing, it would be much easier to find in the future by searching for "making gaskets." I did see one of your earlier gasket videos, but since I don't do it every day, it's easy to forget things. Thanks!

[@snljames]

Gasket video would be interesting. Be nice to see some education on different applications, types and choice of sealer

[@Radiotexas]

YES on the gasket making video! Materials. Sealants. Please! And THANKS!

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing that’s awesome you used your grandfather’s cap looks great too On making a gasket video I’ll watch any video you make buddy even if it’s on something I know nothing or all about lol 😂

[@martinu2725]

Squatch we'd all come and watch you watch paint dry because I can guarantee your find something interesting to say while we all did it.

[@kwarts]

Just as you grabbed your phone to show the gasket making request, I was thinking "a how to" might be helpful for a lot of people. So, yes, please do one. Of course, I will watch. I would happily watch you cleaning out and refurbishing that breathercap as well, or make intricate foldover locks. Kind regards Christiaan

[@sambo9068]

It's a yes on the gasket making video for me .

[@jeromemiller3091]

Squatch, Love watching the "H" rebuild. I'm new to your channel so I would love to see a dedicated video on making "home made" gaskets. Also what tools you use, possibly where you get them if they aren't readily available locally. Thanks! Really enjoy your "style"

[@clydeschwartz]

Excellent video it's nice to see the progress you are making. A gasket making video would be really helpful for lots of people I appreciate how you actually use gaskets not like some people just gobb on silicone and then why it leaks so much. Keep up the great videos

[@mattprater7184]

that pump is a heavy chunk of iron and i don't know if all your viewers know that pump started being used on the late model f 20 farmalls what made me remember that i had a 1938 model f 20 and it had that old fill cap was what it came with back then

[@uglysteve1]

Gasket on Bill. Gasket on Ted! Gasket material will be interesting.😊 Steve

[@stevestrohacker8436]

Ive had to make a ton of gaskets over the years but am always interested in how others make them as well. Never know when you can catch a helpful hint.

[@bcbloc02]

I think a dedicated gasket video would do well. As a content creator might as well hit that cash cow for some views! 🙂

[@tomwilliams8675]

I had very good luck with nitrile impregnated cork gasket material. It cut extremely well and was rated for all types of oils. We used it in my Transformer Repair shop.

[@jamesflett1887]

A dedicated video would be very welcome. It would be so easy to look it up if any off us who have already watched you videos on this want to reference some thing but just can’t remember which video you did it on, a dedicated video would be so easy to find further down the line. Another excellent video thank you 😊

[@andrewmurton8379]

It’s coming together nicely now, looking forward to the engine reassembly. Such high quality work, keep it up Toby.

[@mathuetax]

A how-to for gaskets, that's specifically titled so that new users can find it easily would probably be a good idea, it _might_ even reduce new repeat questions as well. Perhaps as a Playlist that highlights such topics, I dunno really, you have a better grasp as to how to operate a YT channel compared to me :)

[@duanegreen7525]

Please do a video on making gaskets and explaining the different materials to use

[@angrybobking5083]

Yep! Do it for my Dementia.

[@1crazynordlander]

A video covering the different gasket materials and where they are used would be great, but I'm sure that info is available on the internet. Up to you, but I am surprised there wasn't any casting number education in this episode. 😂

[@christophermitchell8986]

Always excited to see your work, so much pride is put into these projects.

[@Barnzoid]

HI Squatch - yes please, the gasket how-to's would be great!

[@brocluno01]

Yes on how to make gaskets, materials, etc.

[@junior1138]

Long comment, grab a refreshing beverage. First, that breather cap is absolutely right, correct and proper. Second, I really don’t care for you Rube Goldberging that cap off with a pry bar: that was an absolutely great opportunity to create a custom tool. I am very disappoint. Finally, Gasket Chat. I’ve only been here since you tore down 1113’s engine down. Since then, I’ve watched pretty much all of the back catalog. I’ve seen you deploy an enormous number of techniques in your work. A personal favourite is running a bead around a stubborn bearing race. My point here is you may be giving your audience a little more credit than they deserve. I know that I have learned a lot from your channel and I think that is why it enjoys the success it does. Personally, I’d love to see you cover off the gasket process. I’m about to knock up a gasket for a diff cover, so there’s that. But there’s other stuff too. I think you could run an entire series of technical reels. I know that you used a candle on the stuck clutch, but I’m not sure which video that is. You cram masses into each vid: this could be your chance to educate people in much more detail. And sorry if you don’t know this yet, but you ARE an educator. Plus the viewing minutes won’t hurt either.

[@RangieNZ]

It can be amazing the content that will work well. I recently did a video about fixing leaking mower tyres and it has been my most popular content by far.

[@keithgoenner1124]

I think a gasket making would be beneficial to those not knowing about how to go about making them

I think it would be very useful to have a Gasket making video. I’m presently rehabbing a 68 Ford 5000 and just getting manufactured gaskets is difficult.

[@lcmedicman]

yes, please do clean up and gasket making videos

[@SootHead]

Yay on the "How to Make Gaskets" video!

[@tbirdracefan]

I never really paid any attention to types of gasket material. Knowing what to use where would be something I might use in the future. Also any tips for making small gaskets like those on a small engine carbs would be nice.
