Duane,

It depends where the hole is and what type of engine it is. If it's a gasoline engine, the probability is that it may hold. The best location to have a hole would is to be near the middle of the bore's length. That way a new sleeve and Loc-Tite sleeve sealer may have a chance of sealing.

I had a Ford 8N for almost 20 years. When it came time to rebuild it, I discovered a rod had sometime in the past with a previous owner had gone through the cylinder wall. The hole was about the size of a 1/2 dollar and was at least 1" from either end of the bore. I applied the Loc-tite sleeve sealer and pressed the sleeve home. No problems whatsoever.

If the damage goes beyond the length of the sleeve, you may be able to take to an engine welding shop (There are a couple in Dayton, OH that can do this, so there's probably some in other cities.). They will have to weld and rebore the block and press in an oversized OD sleeve.

I wouldn't attempt to try to adapt another engine family into the tractor. Look through some tractor parts catalogs and find which engines have the same external features and then,buy one from a salvge yard.

Good Luck!
