B8200 front differential

[Denny Gordon]

I had to remove the drive shaft goes to the front differential on my b 8200 so that I can remove and repair the oil pan. I'm having trouble discerning what gaskets and or seals that I need. I was told that they are both shims but one appears to be a shim and the other appears to be a gasket. Any help would be great. Thank you!

The shim is for setting the depth of teeth contact (backlash), generally available in different thicknesses, the seal is achieved by the oring. Other end with gasket probably wouldn't matter (without looking at the actual set up for your machine.)

You'll have to check for correct parts to suit your particular model, but it appears 3 different shims and a gasket are available off the shelf from colemans or others, here's a couple of them......

The gasket is paper/fiber, the shim is metal.
