At the risk of having the crowd come thundering down on me........ Last summer my Super A started getting water in the oilpan. I prayed it was only a head gasket, but found that my block was cracked on three cylinders between the sleeve and the water hole. It was time for a new block. I was trying to figure where I"d find a block and how I"d get it with no money in the tractor budget when a friend showed up and suggested a jackleg repair. What I did was take a dremel tool (sidegrinder would"ve worked) and cut a V-notch into the length of the cracks, then filled them with JB Weld. I know, I know... I filed and sanded the cured epoxy off flush with the top of the block and reinstalled the head with a new gasket. So far, I"ve had no more water in the pan. I made the repair in July and mowed pastures with it the rest of the summer. Just used the tractor yesterday spreading some gravel on my road. I don"t know how long it will last, but this repair (patch?) might get you through until you can get a block.
