What tractor? Where is the crack? That would make a difference to me as to whether I welded it or bought another housing.... but generally speaking, I would weld it, and I'd weld it with a NiRod (Sodel 335). It must be a magic rod or something because I've never had any trouble with it, tho it certanly is expensive.
I'd also probably open the housing up so I could get inside and do the job right. You're not just worried about getting it oil tight. You want it strong. If you've got time to do it half azzed twice, you've got time to do it right once...
I would think that your 900 (with absolutely no guarntees of success, whatever the claim) would come VERY close to covering the cost of your part from a salvage yard... This is why I ask what model. If it's one of the older Ford dereviatives you may find it far cheaper to just find a used part.
