D Casting Flaw?

I posted this question several months ago with little response so I will try again. I have a 47 D that I am restoring. It was purchased "Stuck" with the expectation of boring it and installing oversize pistons. On cleaning the head combustion surface there was a mass of soft material under one of the exhaust valves which I thought was carbon/oil build-up. I used a rotary wire brush to remove the material but the more I brushed the deeper the pocket went. By the time I was finished, there was a pocket 3/8" deep at the deepest point and 3" long around the bottom of the valve seat stretching into the center of the chamber. The bottom of the pocket appears to be a rough cast finish and not any type of repair. My questions are: Did Deere use castings that may have had this type of flaw and would there be any reason to replace the head if there are no cracks. Any imput will be appreciated.

Donny, I don't know if Deere intentionally used defective castings but those things do happen.
~I have seen some strange casting flaws over the years in the automotive business. But not too many on the old Deere's [probably due to the age of the tractors & that most defects have been replaced by now].
~I have seen casting areas like you have [soft gray/brown powdery areas] due to water sitting in that area & causing a corrosion & casting deterioration.
