I have a John Deere Model D tractor with a few bad pits, the size of a small bean, that I would like to avoid boring and sleeving to repair. Anyone know of a product that could fill this and then be honed smooth instead. This isn't a work tractor but I would like this repair to hold up reasonably well so I can use the tractor occasionally for what it was intended.

I've often wondered about being able to do something like this myself. I have a small Onan that's mine that I'm considering something like this on, because of one small but deep pit, but just haven't followed up with anything yet. When your building engines for a customer like we normally do though you have to CYA which means always boring if it needs it because you can't afford for it to come back. With all the new epoxies etc out there though may be something you can use. You might try calling one of the larger mfgs of the specialized epoxies like Devcon and talking to their tech guys. We used their products when I was in the Navy to seal leaking pipes on different systems, and I have repaired external leaks on water jackets with one of their epoxies too and always have had good results. Still there are different kinds of exposies for different applications/operating conditions. I know there is one epoxy out ther called Titanium Putty that we used to built up a shaft once. It is so hard when it sets up that it's almost impossible to machine. It seems like a material that tough ought to stand up to the kind of use your talking about. If you find something that works post back and let everybody know how it goes. Good luck.
