Murray Gaskets & Seals
Match the correct Murray gasket or seal by checking your model number or the part number on the old component before ordering, as shapes and sizes can vary between machines. At Garden Tractor Spares, you can source genuine and OEM replacement parts for jobs including head gaskets and crankshaft oil seals. If compression has dropped and starting is difficult, a failed head gasket may be the cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
What points to a head gasket problem?
A blown head gasket typically shows up as low compression and hard starting. If the engine has become reluctant to fire and feels weak on compression, the head gasket is one of the key sealing parts to inspect.
Which seals are most likely behind engine oil leaks?
On these engines, oil leaks most often come from the sump gasket or the crankshaft oil seal. If you can see oil around the engine, those are the main sealing points to focus on first.
What should I replace after opening the engine?
Any gasket disturbed during the repair should be renewed rather than reused. That includes sealing parts such as carb gaskets and sump gaskets if they have been broken free during the job.
