Is it entirely the wrong part or just too small? I've bought gaskets for old stuff like this which have dried out and shrunk by as much as an inch.

I see the same thing, and the same Part Number of 4N6298 radiator core above/below machine S/N 10K8968.

However - 1P2520 services to 6N4950, so there ought to be no difference in the gasket shape between the two Part Numbers IMO.

I also tried part number 9m2250 because I saw another cross reference somewhere. still not the right one.

Perhaps I should try the 1p2520 even thought it should be the same as 6n4950

I'm thinking it may have been a mistake in the OCR when the paper books were scanned back in the 80s. Or rather, microfiche.

My D6D has a 4N6298 core. Parts book says on the top tank there is a plate assembly and thus two gaskets.
gasket 1p2512, plate assembly 1p2680, gasket 1p2520

bottom gasket 1p9178
