Does anyone know where you can find a good used block? I just bought a tractor that I thought was running good, even drove it a while. When I got home with it saw a little slow weeping coming from the left side behind oil filter. After pulling the head saw it was cracked along the top of block into a water jacket. The rest of the tractor is in such good shape I hate to give up on it. Any help would be appreciated.

I got a 2n that the block had a crack in it on the left side and I took it to the machine shot and they Piened it. I put it back together and it had a small leak at the end where they piened it so I used some stop leak. Runes like a new one with it is all restored. I use it to grade the road in to my place.

I agree with Mark. At least give the JB Weld a try before investing in a new block. You don't have much to loose with the old one, do you? While I have never used it on an engine block, I have used JB Weld for several other things and if you have never used it before you will be surprised at how strong it is.

Mine was the same way. Ran great but after I cleaned it up real good I found antifreeze leeking from an 8-10 in crack on the left side behind the oil filter and the starter. It leaked a couple pints after each use so I had to put a bucket under it in the garage to catch it all. Some on this forum suggested patching with JB Weld and some suggested welding. I went the JB Weld route. I've ran it several times pretty hard and it's held so far. I used a grinding wheel on the drill and gound out a "V" along the crack and cleaned the block good. Used several thin layers of JB Weld and sanded it down fairly smooth. Can't really tell any work was done.

Mark,
Was your crack on top of the block where the head gasket will seat? I heard a lot about the JB weld and was ready to use it on the side of the block but when I saw it on top I didn't think I would be able to get the head gasket to seat good. Thanks for any advice.

Eddy - the crack on mine was on the side. If it was me, I'd try the repair first.

Some times its remarkable what J B Weld will do. As for the crack on the head gasket surface the head gasket should seal it. If you use J B on the surface where the gasket lays you can't leave any hump there and I wouldn't recomend grinding out a v there. I'd just try sealing the side like others have recomended and putting the head back on with a new gasket and a good sealer. If you only have a very small seep to the outside Bars Leak could be a very good remedy. I've had very good luck with it. REMMo.
