Default 1864 foam Sealing Ring?

Ok...long story short? My 1864 needed the engine pulled...I put in new head gaskets, intake/exhaust gaskets, flyhweel seal, breather gaskets, etc.

Now..when I took mine apart it was an oily greasy mess like you've never seen before...

I did NOT have part# 723-3062 on my machine, must have long rotted away. This is a foam sealing gasket, part# 15:

https://www.partstree.com/models/186...nd-bulkhead-2/

My question - where does this go? Between the "bulkhead" and the engine? Anyone got a pic of this? Size or diameter? Purpose?

Also, I need this asap as I want to put the motor back in and use this machine. I bought a POS John Deere LA175 to give me time to fix this 1864 - what an absolute joke of a machine compared to the 1864...junk.

Some places say this part# is NLA, other has have a long shipping time. I am just going to make my own, but need to know exactly where it goes...

Thanks for the help.

I believe it goes on the back side of the firewall ( I guess that is what is
is called) It is fairly thick. I would think one could make it out of some
good thick foam weather strip. I have simply glued them on with Gorilla Glue.
I would think it is pretty important for air flow so the engine cools well.

This is on an 1862 I would think it would be maybe not exactly the same but
pretty close.

I just bought a foam strip from Menards and glued it to the firewall to seal to the engine shroud.

Armaflex pipe insulation, the good soft stuff works too.

Thanks everyone...lol..I searched google images for 1864, found nothing, then did the 1863, found nothing..guess I should have went the last step and checked the 1862...

Would you believe I actually have armaflex pipe insulation in stock @ work? What a great idea...thank you very much for that.

And FYI, anyone reading this - for the love of gawd, once in a while take the motor out of these things, remove the tins and clean them up. It's stupid easy to get the motor out - 4 bolts on the yellow mounting plate and it lifts right out....

Thanks again.

It's grey closed cell foam. I get it where I work for free, since it is thrown out. It is used for packing for shipment of delicate objects.

Default 1864 foam sealing ring

Six Strings...looks like you are missing the correct lower firewall panel that forms a full seal around the flywheel area and mounts to the bottom of the engine plate. The ring goes between the engine and firewall.

I replaced my ring when I restored my 1864 a few years ago. The ring is nothing more than a die cut piece of foam with adhesive in one side. It would be easy to find a replacement for this over priced item!

If you search "1864 minor improvements" you will see some pictures that show the correct firewall. You can't see the foam ring...but it's in there!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
