I'm not one that likes to be a cheapskate with repairs, but I'm in a tight spot. First off, how gosh-awful bad are these cracks? The large one that runs vertical accepts quarters when cold. The two horizontal cracks aren't much wider than a sheet of paper & seal-up when the manifold gets warm. I don't have much chopping to do, maybe two wagon-loads total. Should I patch it, leave it or wait until I can afford to replace it?
Is there a tractor that uses a Waukesha 135 GZU or some other 135 G+ series engine? How about a stationary or industrial engine bone yard? There has to be an inexpensive used manifold somewhere. I was quoted a price on a NOS one & well.... the guy on the other end of the line should have told me to sit an' hang on! I think I still see stars. My other calls so far have only turned up complete engines & they are no where near home or affordable, especially on such short notice. If anyone has a lead, I'd appreciate it.
