Last winter the block cracked on my Super A. I repaired the outside of the block but when I ran the tractor coolant was getting into the cylnder, I pulled the head yesterday and it seems it is getting into the number 2 cylnder, The number 3 cylnder had fluid in it but was not green like in the number 2. Anyway I see two tiny hair line cracks about an inch in length, one at the number two clynder and one at the number three cylnder. One goes to the no. 3 cylnder sleeve. Mu questions are (1)is the leak coming from the cracks or the head gasket and (2) can the cracks be fixed and if so how? (keep on mind I only have simple tools for a simple man). I would apprecaite any advice. BTW this is my wifs's tractor and she does want it fixed.

Jrry,

If you have coolant in the cylinders, it is most likely coming in through a bad head gasket. Since that is a wet-sleeve engine, a cracked block will usually only leak on the outside.

As far as repairing it goes, I've heard that they can be welded, but good luck finding someone who will work on it. Nobody seems to want to touch old stuff anymore. Your best best to fix it properly would be to find a block that isn't cracked and rebuild it.

Hi Jrry, I am going through something simaler right now . You can probly get it fixed at the right machine shop but from what I have found it will be costly. There is a spray or something that new proccess gear uses to seal transfer cases Or at least this is what I have been told that they say will seal any leak maybe someone knows somebody that works there to find out for sure. But anyways it might be cheaper to find a block thats you know is good. JON
