The used block that I just installed on my S A has a VERY SMALL leak. It is above and to the rear of the carb. It's not a crack. It looks like a casting flaw to me. I've got about 10 hours on her since the replacement and it has only leaked enough to wet the block below the leak, but not enough to run off the tractor. It can't be more than 10 or 12 drops that have come out of it. As I said a VERY SMALL leak. This tractor doesn't have a water pump. So my question is, would Bars Leak (or an equivalent leak stopper) work in the non-water pump cooling system? I'm thinking that there may not be enough circulation to allow it to work. I think I could fix it with a quick buzz from my mig but I wanted to see what you guys have to say about Bars Leak in my old beauty, before I try to weld it. I'm a little concerned that the small hole flaw may turn out to be a large area that is so thin I'd wind up with a tried repair that does more damage and increases the hole size. What do you think guys? Dave

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
