Description

Nothing ruins an evening of late harvest work like a headlight filling up with moisture or getting moisture spots on the lens. Those vintage sealed beam headlights on older IH tractors need a good seal between the lens and housing to keep water out and maintain proper beam focus. This little gasket might look simple, but it’s what keeps your lights working when you need them most.

What You’re Getting

Precise fit that creates a weatherproof seal between lens and headlight housing
Durable rubber construction that handles temperature swings and vibration
Direct replacement that installs just like the original factory gasket
Prevents moisture infiltration that can damage reflectors and cause fogging

Built for Vintage Iron

This gasket is designed specifically for the sealed beam headlight units used on classic International Harvester tractors. Whether you’re restoring a Cub, Farmall, or other vintage IH machine, this gasket ensures your headlights stay dry and functional for those early morning starts and late evening finishes.

Made to Last

Modern rubber compounds in this gasket resist the cracking and hardening that plagued original gaskets after decades of sun exposure and temperature cycling. It stays flexible through hot summer days and cold winter nights, maintaining that critical seal year after year.

Installation Notes

Remove the old gasket completely and clean both surfaces before installing the new one. A thin coat of petroleum jelly helps the gasket seat properly and makes future removal easier. Don’t overtighten the retaining ring—just snug enough to compress the gasket evenly all around.
