My fathers JD 850 had an vent tube for the transmission that comes up behind the seat and looks like and upside down J. Well somehow it's gotten broken off slightly below the surface of the case leaving an open hole into the transmission.
How can this be fixed?
1. can I use a slide hammer with a hook to reach down inside the tube remaining in the hole and pull it out?--I assume it was just press fitted. 2. Should I find a piece of tubing even smaller and fit it inside the piece still inside the hole? 3. Should we as he first suggested, tack weld it back? I said no because A. It's broke about 1/8" below the hole surface. B. The hole is cast iron and the tube steel. C. My 225 amp buzz box welder isn't a magic wand. 4. Should as he then said we just sit the broken piece over the hole and pile JB weld around it?--I don't have high hopes for that working for long. 5. Or lastly as he's probably just going to forget it, should I just leave the stick he stuck in the hole in there and forget it too? 6. Any other ideas?
