I have a 1952 Case S thats got a crack in the block. Im told it got cracked by not using antifreeze in the coolant, but straight water- and it froze. Can water freezing even crack the casting? It has been arc welded quite well, and sealed with JB Weld. It did run rough 6 years ago but sat ever since. Should I even attempt to repair this machine to usable condition? I have two Case S, but wondering if the cracked one is worth fixing, or if I should part it out to fix the other... The crack seems to be around the piston area, is it a serious issue? I suppose I might have to pull it apart to check how deep it cracked. Any input would be helpful.

Thanks for the ideas. I will run the old Case if I can find the time- it wont take much to get her running. Judging by the quality of the welds someone laid on it, it was likely well repaired, and might not need anything. I hope to get the both of the Case S back to workable condition.

As long as the cracks don't extend down beyond "O" ring seal that keeps coolant from leaking from around the cylinder sleeves into the oil, it should be repairable. Check to see if you are getting any coolant into the oil pan? If not, everything is probably repairable. If you do, then either you have a crack or just a bad "O" ring seal.

Most of these type of cracks are superfiscal and can be welded or brazed to to repair them. the out wall of the block is the weakest part and YES it will crack do to water freezinf in side. I would test things out by getting it running and seeing if it has any other problems before parting it out. You might just be able to save an old tractor and that always makes one feel good. Walt

Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
