Doh! I ordered a new drive for my B8200HSD because my cable is intact and I assume the tach dial is fine but the existing drive doesn't turn.

It didn't occur to me that I also needed the $0.70 gasket. The parts are supposed to arrive today after a week's delay and no gasket :( The closest dealer is 45 minutes away and probably doesn't carry these in stock.

edit: called nearest dealer and he said he could have the part Wed. He's a 45 minute drive, seemed to think liquid gasket would be fine here. I can't remember the last time (if ever) I've done a repair requiring a gasket so don't have experience with this sort of thing. Please talk me out of it if RTV, instant/liquid gasket is not a good idea.

I'm trying to find a Kubota part# for a tachometer. 67800-55402 is no longer available.
