"concerned" depends on you. It looks like a shade tree fix. Lots of welding, and the addition of a non-stock plug bolt. If it works, and you don't mind the way it looks, then it's of no concern in my opinion. But since it's a show tractor, you may want to take some time on it. Get a bolt that doesn't stick out so far and take a grinder to those weld beads before you paint it.
If someone was doing an original restoration, they've probably have to replace the rear end. But you don't have to go to that extreme.
It is right under the belt pulley PTO down on the side of the transmission case. I will get a bolt that is the right length. I would be hesitant to grind on those welds too much since they are brass. It would take quite a bit to get them smoothed up and clean. I was thinking of building a nice can type cover that would cover just the area of weld and use the bolt to hold it in place. I am afraid this has dampened my aspirations of having a real nice 100% original tractor without going to extensive lengths to replace the case and a couple of other imperfections. I do not have the place or time or money to get into completely changing out cases and big pieces like this. I will fix it up as best i can i hope it turns out looking ok.

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
