There are several repair procedures to repair the block;tension rod repairs and furnace braze repairs. But make sure that your block is cracked first. How could you tell the coolant level was almost empty? Did you drain the radiator and the cooling jacket on the engine and measure the water left? Was there coolant in the oil? (The oil will look milky.) Open the drain plug and see if coolant comes out first.
My original TO-30 engine had a tension rod repair. Holes were drilled into the water jacket between the sleeves and threaded rods were placed in the holes and nuts were placed on both ends of the rods and tightend to pull the block together. Lock nuts then locked the tightening nuts in place. I replaced that block because it was plumb wore out and I needed the tractor running so I bought a remanufactured short block(~$1500)and installed it. It had a furnace braze repair. I have about 300-400 hours and it runs fine. I"m sure that if you block is cracked you can just get it repaired for ~$500 with the furnace braze method. Tthe blocks ends up stress relieved in the process and are align bored after the repair.
