Thanks guys. I would have to tow the tractor in to get it welded or have the welder come out.

I'll let you all know how it goes as soon as the weather allows me to work without getting all wet.

I will also post a couple of pictures of the crankcase later so you can all see what I'm up against. The cracks aren't too large, wide or in a bad spot (at least I don't think so) and the patch with QuickSteel/JB might at least let me keep her going long enough to get a patch weld on her later.
