The pins are there because someone repaired a crack. The crack is there because someone let the antifreeze get low and the coolant froze and cracked the block. The location you describe is where these blocks crack when this happens. Such cracks are common on these tractors because when they were new, it was common to use alcohol for antifreeze. Since the cooling system is not pressurized, the alcohol had to be replenished on a regular basis because the alcohol has a low boiling point and constantly evaporates in a non pressurized system. So slip ups in the process resulted in cracked blocks. The blocks can be repaired and will run for years if the crack is not to severe. Lots of them are running that way. So..the suggestion to use JB weld is good. Also, if you can find a skilled welder, the crack can be welded. The welding can be done so you won't even know the crack is there.
