Al: I don't know what it is about A, SA, etc. You seem to find more broken blocks in those tractors than any other tractor. I think those tractors got into the hands people that never tested anti freeze in their life. The local service center looked after the family car and/or pickup come fall, chain saw and lawn mower didn't need it so every thing was fine. I never could figure the mentality on that one. I am willing to bet frozen, broken blocks took more offset Farmalls to the scrapyard than any other single cause. No they are not prone to breaking. I currently have three of these tractors, owned three others in my life time, I never had a problem. I could never understand this, a $1.98 anti freeze tester would have saved every one of them. It really doesn't take very smart person to operate one of these testers. One needs to be even less smart to realize that fall brings on cold weather. I'm like you, I would never want a repaired block, you just never know how deep those cracks were. I would always be wondering when it was going to start leaking again. And they do start leaking again. I know guys that have repaired them several times. I personally wouldn't fool with it.
