Default Correct Oil Drain Plug Gasket

In the process of rebuilding my Kohler K321 for my 1450 IH Cub, I noticed that the oil drain plug gasket is rotten and needs replaced. I can't tell what type of gasket it is and I've looked in several different spots without finding the answer, so I came here. Hopefully someone on here can tell me what type of gasket to get, thanks in advance.

Anybody?

It's just a common 3/8" tapered pipe tread.
Get a plug from any plumbing shop, hardware store or farm store.
That's what all my Cubs have in them for plugs.
no gasket involved.

You must have the original plug with the now rotten fiber gasket
This is what i use.

Make sure you have a good fitting wrench and don't over tighten the plug.I have a 8 point socket which ends up to fit the corners,instead of the two flats,I feel its a better solution

Should I just replace the plug and not get a new gasket?
Or either way is okay?

I just happen to be changing oil in my 1200.
Here is what i use, just a nylon washer.
Take your oil plug with you to any decent hardware store and they will fix you up.
I also like to epoxy a magnet to the end of the plug to collect metal particles.

Thanks. Good idea on the magnet.

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.
