I have a JD R with a hole on the bottom of the block under the cylinder. It is about 1/2" by 1/4" in size. Is there a way I can fix this short of a new block? I was going to try Quick Steel and see what happens. I thought about welding but it is a big hole to weld up isn't it? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks Mark

Bought an R years ago with the same problem- they don't completely empty out when you drain the water for winter. Had mine welded. Previous owner put on a disney patch of rubber and steel plate.

You said under the cylinder, but is it through the cylinder wall? If it is just into the water jacket you could patch it. I have seen some really neat patches using flat steel, a gasket, and bolts around the perimiter of the patch.

I would think blocks are getting hard to find and expensive. I would take it to a professional welder that has alot of cast experience.
