You don't even need heat and vibration.
Bondo on a thin edge like that is going to crack and fall off if you look at it wrong.
First, get a set of body hammers and dollies from harbor freight (<$20) and pound it out as smooth as you can, so you can see what you have.
The easiest "home repair" would be to CAREFULLY make the hole larger, if you can do it without making the hole HUGE.
If you've got a MIG welder you can stitch the cracked metal back together and then file/grind it to shape. You can even do it with a stick welder with 1/16" electrodes and a low enough amp setting, if you're careful. The sheet metal parts on an M are quite thick.
If the tractor has that much sentimental value to you, it will be worth taking the hood to a body shop to have it repaired properly.
