8N Cracked Block Pictures

Here's the plate.

Here's what I found under it. I hope you can see the crack. It goes between the two screws taped into the block. The red one in front and the cleaned one in the rear. I guess the screws were to stop the crack from spreading. The smaller screws in the plate kept the crack together. Who ever fixed it got the tractor running again for many years. I got this tractor cheap and I knew there was something hiding under there. What do you think? Can I repair this somehow or should I get a block. The rest of the tractor is pretty good. It doesn't look great but everything works. She even runs good, no smoke and lots of power.

Looks like you lost your Serial Number for the block..
I would put it back together as others have said..

A fairy appeared to the mother and told her that under no circumstance to ever tamper with the golden screw.

When the boy was old enought to understand the mother told him what the fairy had told her.

When the boy got to be kindergarden age curiosity got the best of him one day about the golden screw in his naval so he got one of his daddy's screw drivers and proceded to remove the golden screw.

His buttocks fell off!

My guess is that this will eat at you though so you could keep running it and stay on alert for a good deal on a block. When you get the new gem, then proceed with a tear-down.

Best of luck

Good luck!
