Toby, the best time to have replaces the pilot bushing would have been while the tractor was spit for the clutch.
In any event eplacing it now would not involve replacing the block. It's centered up in the enrar end of the crank.
I agree with the others that the epoxy patch for the old crack (lemme guess, it's behind the carburetor) will hold. The A, unless it's been modified, is a non-pressurized cooling system, so there's no fluid pressure to speak of on that repair, though there will be some lateral stresses on the epoxy bond from the iron expanding and contracting at a different rate than the patch. That said, many of those repairs were made and have been holding water and anti-freeze for years.
I vote for keeping your block and getting that pilot bushing taken care of.
