I attended a tractor restoration clinic at the big show in Kinsers Pa several years ago. This guy (Sponsored by Dupont paint) showed a method that even someone without welding equipment can do. He drilled a hole in the farthest point of where the crack started, taped it, then theaded a soft bolt into the threaded hole, broke it off, then ground it smooth. Then he drilled another hole, overlaping the first one, tapped install bolb, broke of, ground smooth. He continued this till he was past the visible other end of the crack. He said he'd repaired many blocks this way, and never had one to leak. (By overlapping the holes/bolts, each succeding one locks the previous one in place!) I've been lucky enough that I've not had an occasion to need to try it! (keeping my fingers crossed) This does have the advantages of not requiring welding equipment, or even having to take the block out of the tractor. He even went on to point out that if you use a pneumatic needle scaler over the surface once you are done, it leaves a pretty rough surface, very simular to the original casting surface. WW
