When mowing hay many years ago my Dad cracked the engine block on our SC when the NFend fell into a ground hog hole. It snapped NFend off above the front axles and cracked the engine block by the timing gears on the left front. We replaced the remains of the NFend with our WFend in the field. Started the SC long enough to lift the mower, hooked are JD 420U to it a towed it to our local welding shop. He wire brushed and scraped all the paint away (no power grinders in those days) and welded a piece of iron over the crack. We kept that SC for another 2 years and it never cracked or leaked a drop.

So have it welded by someone that knows how to weld cast iron.
