You will be better off getting a good used one. If you want to poor-boy it untill you find a good one try this. Cut a patch from a 1 1/2" copper pipe and form it to cover the hole. Clean around the hole, inside and outside, with a wire brush and sandpaper. The toothbrush sized wire brush works good inside the pipe. Glue the patch over the hole with that high-temp manifold putty. You can get it at any auto supply store. Smooth the inside with your finger moisten in water. Secure the patch with #12 copper wire. The next day, when the putty has hardened, silver solder the wire to keep it from unraveling. I fixed mine this way nine years ago. I average about two hours a week on the tractor and it was still holding when I replaced it this winter. Found an excellent used one from Community Tractor & Equipment, Inc. I paid just under $150.00 for the manifold, gaskets, and shipping F.O.B. my front porch. They are in Natalia, Texas, just south of San Antonio, Texas. They are as honest as Abe Lincoln. I sent in my check on a Saturday and the next Tuesday when I came home from work it was on my front porch. The gaskets were missing. It was too late to call them that evening. I would call them the next day. I got busy and forgot that next day. No matter, when I came home that evening the gaskets were on the dining room table with the day's mail.
