That's bad. Are there cracks between all the cylinders ?
I had a block welded that had cracks similar to the middle picture, that went between cylinders 2 and 3, and between 3 and 4. I looked for a couple years and could not come up with a good used block, and really wanted to use the tractor.
The spray welding cost me $12 per inch a few years ago. The surface of the block was machined and the sleeve recesses rebored. There was a big crack behind the carb too. The welding cost $288 and the machine work was $45 (IIRC).
The repair has held up so far and the cost was about the same as a used block. Welding worked for me. I'm not sure if brazing would be strong enough.
