I had the manifold retapped by a plumber as mentioned below, but the threads still were not very good as the old pipe had pretty much worn them away. I had a "fresh pipe" cut and new threads cut on it then turned the pipe in with steel wool wrapped around the pipe to make it even tighter. It held for about 5 years then I finally had to spring for new manifold - they aren't that expensive.

The pipes I've seen welded in don't last long especially if the tractor is seeing lots of field work.
