Long story, but had the pto gear on my tractor (MF 3670), smash a bearing ball through the casting. I'm left with a hole approximately 1 inch in diameter in the casting at the bottom of the casting. I need to seal the hole (I have the piece of casting that got pushed out).
Ideas on fixing it??
My first thought was to weld it back in place, but it does need to be oil tight.
Neighbour suggested making a plate to cover the whole and drilling 6 holes and tapping them for threads the make a gasket and suck it down tight, I like this idea but the casting is only 3/8 of an inch thick and i'm not sure i drill blind holes and tap them that shallow, and i really don't want to drill 6 more holes in the base of the casting... and on top of it all the outside of the casting is not very smooth, it's rounded in two directions
JB weld or similar? Is it strong enough to hold the broken casting in place by itself? Should i JB weld it and weld it with ni-rod too??
