When you start hearing that telltale knocking from under the hood or notice white smoke mixing with your exhaust on startup, your head gasket is probably telling you it’s had enough. A blown head gasket means coolant and oil mixing where they shouldn’t, overheating issues, and loss of compression that’ll leave you with an expensive paperweight instead of a working tractor. This complete head gasket set gives you everything you need to seal things up right and get back to work.

- Quality materials engineered to handle the heat and pressure of gas engine operation
- Proper thickness and compression characteristics for reliable long-term sealing

Built for Real Farm Work
This gasket set is designed specifically for John Deere’s 135 cubic inch 3-cylinder gas engines. These compact powerplants were built for utility work and smaller farming operations where reliability and fuel efficiency matter more than raw horsepower. Whether you’re running a compact utility tractor, powering auxiliary equipment, or maintaining older John Deere machines, this engine was designed to run steady and dependable for years.
Made to Last
Head gaskets work in one of the toughest spots in your engine – sandwiched between the block and head where they seal against combustion pressure, coolant passages, and oil galleries all at once. This set uses materials that can handle the thermal cycling and pressure changes of gas engine operation without blowing out or losing their sealing ability over time.
Good to Know
Head gasket replacement is serious engine work that requires proper tools and know-how. Before you start, make sure to check the cylinder head for warping or cracks – installing new gaskets on a damaged head will just lead to failure down the road. Clean all the old gasket material completely, follow proper torque sequences, and take your time with the reassembly. It’s also a perfect opportunity to check valve condition and timing while you’ve got things apart.
