Kurt,

It appears you are the Master of good deals!!!!! $30 for a brush hog and $150 for a tractor sounds good to me. Even if the tractor does need work, besides, think of all the fun you'll be having!

About cast iron block welding, I did that, once. I had a 436IH block that had a freeze crack in the side of the block. It still ran and the tractor worked, but I could'nt stand that wet seeping block. Block sealer almost worked, but it was still wet.

When I was younger, and braver, I fancied myself as a pretty good "chicken crap" welder. I started in on this 436 block and the more I welded, the bigger the crack got! I finally heated the whole side of the block with a big rose-bud tip (verrrrry unscientific) and got the thing welded up. One side of the crack didn't stop till it finally hit a freeze plug. How I kept from melting sleeve O-rings or ruining that block I'll never know. Thank goodness I've matured some and I don't get myself into those kinds of messes any more.

By the way, are you close by me? I was thinking, if you say you have a little welding experience too, and I hold the torch in one hand while you're weld'in and we jack up the tractor so it's sorta lean'in to one side maybe...........;)
