Is that an outboard engine of some type? Picture are great but some identification would be even greater.
After all that work I think I might consider drilling holes at the ends of the hairline crack, bevel, and weld (carefully).
Thanks!
Not an outboard, I suppose it could be used as an inboard, but probably a bit heavy! :lol: Water injectors in the manifold are for reducing ping when running on kerosene. It's a 1929 22-36 [aka new model 15-30] McCormick Deering. I had been putting everything in one thread, but since that messes with those using Classic View if I don't make a new thread to reference the old one I just put the pictures in the new thread assuming everyone had been following the progress.
Was actually tempted to weld it, but enough lukewarm feedback from welding experts [I think someone with a large soak oven might be able to acheive it without worry, but didn't find any local welders with an oven], steered me against it. I was also tempted to just drill it to stop it from going further, but on the off chance the crack veered one way or the other under the surface, I might not catch it all with a 1/16 or less, so opted against even that. Still, ears are open to suggestions!

The two new models were given three figure numbers, instead of "three" and "four". Model numbers were introduced to help farmers and dealers instantly recognize the engine size and horsepower of the tractor, the 4/60 had a four cylinder diesel engine which developed 60 bhp at 2,000 rpm. The 3/42 had a 3 cylinder diesel engine which produced 42 bhp at 2,000 rpm. Th
