1955 IH Refrigerator

[Randall Barringer]

I found this refrigerator 1100 miles away and had it shipped to me.
It needed a new door gasket, so I ordered 14 ft of part number 35-188 from www.rhsparts.com.
The insulation looked good so I will leave it in place.
Just thought I'd share a part number and some pics that don't come up too often.
I am still working on installing the door seal and will update when it's done.

door seal marked for gasket clips. I will have to drill small holes for the gasket to accept the clips.
I let my wife cut the gaskets, she is more patient than me and even made herself some stencils to use.
More to come after I get the holes drilled and the gasket fully installed.

gasket before cutting after 3 cuts on top corners and 1 cut on bottom corners. It's not perfect, but it will function fine. after a coat of paste wax to protect it. Now I just need to move it and put it to work.
