Thanks for the input Mike,
Maybe I should go ahead and take it to a welding shop and get it welded. I asked the owner of a local welding shop, and he said he uses nickel to weld those old cast blocks. He told me he prefers to just get the block in to weld on - he says he sets them on some sorm of heater to get the entire block uniformerly heated before welding. He also told me that sometimes, even after they are nickel welded, they can still seep. He said sometimes you just have to run them until the cracks get filled up with with dirt or sealer before the seeping will completely stop. The guy has been in business for 35 years, so I guess he know what he is talking about. But I've heard just about as many good things about JB Weld as I have bad things. So I went the cheap route first. I think what I will do is get the tractor running again without all the body parts, etc. on it before I paint - and let it run for a good long while just to see what happens. You are probably right though. Do you know if a smaller (100A, 1 phase) mig welder would be capeable of welding the crack?
