Hello all
I am in the process of rebuilding my 1950 TEA, and I have run into a problem. There is a crack in the block where the headstud is between cylinders 3 and 4 on the manifold side (see attached photo,...I hope). To describe the problem, if there is problem with the photo, the crack runs front to back through the hole for the head studbolt and from the bolthole towards the middle of the block. The crack does not go to the outside of the block and there was no contamination of the oil or coolant.
Have any of you run in to a problem like this before and what did you do?
For resources, I am rebuilding this tractor with my friend, who owns the local welding shop. If repair is an option what process did you use? Brazing, welding, preheat schedule, and so on.
Thanks in advance
