Back when I was a starving under grad I bought a rebuilt wreck from one of my professors. It was an '85 Olds Calais with a V6. When it was wrecked the motor mount against the firewall (front wheel drive, sideways V6) had ripped out of the block and leaked oil. No way to get to it without pulling th eengine or transmission. Local garage would take the motor mount out, clean area with starting fluid, and fill up with JB weld. Just as it set up he would bolt it back in. I would hold until it got up over a hundred or down in the teens. Then He'd clean it off and cover it again. Not a perfect fix but it only cost a few dollars and kept me going until I could get a job and another vehicle. He did it twice a year for the 3 years I had the car.

With that said, on the side of a tractor engine I'd either weld it or get it welded if you possibly can. As long as its easy to get to you can do a good job with either nickel/manganese or stainless steel. Rods aren't cheap (I just bought some 'no pre heat req'd NI rods and they were $2 each)
