Thanks guys. I would have to tow the tractor in to get it welded or have the welder come out. In either case, I think that would be pretty expensive (almost so much so around here that finding a good crankcase might be the same general pricerange) so I think I might go with the QuickSteel/JB Weld first. And Yeah, I think before I go driving off a little walking with a staff to check for holes might be in order.
I'll let you all know how it goes as soon as the weather allows me to work without getting all wet.
And I am open to any more advice, suggestions and information as to the effectiveness of this sort of repair job. 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.
