Patrick: I cannot believe the timeliness of your posting. Yesterday afternoon, I just got back from bringing home a new-to-me 140. A friend was looking it over whilst it was still on the trailer. He noticed some very old and cracked bondo behind the carb which I had not noticed. It was an old block repair which had been brazed and then smoothed over with the bondo and then painted red years ago. It had blended in with the stains on the block from the carburetor. I peeled the bondo off and there was the repair. I'm sure hurts the value of the tractor to some degree, but if the repair does not leak, I am not going to worry about it.
Thanks for the good information on how to properly repair. I hope I never need to apply it.
