First I take a float & put in a freezer for several hrs or overnight. Then pull it out and submerge it In a pan of boiling water. This will tell you if it has a leak in main seam.Heating the air in float ,bubbles will come out if you have a leak. I have done several John Deere type floats. All brass floats has a vent hole. Drill a small hole in the vent I have a fixture I made to hold a float in a pan of cold water.This to be strong enough to firmly hold the float. Then I use a electric Iron at least 550 watts. Clean the 2 contact area, then tin each. Then keep the water level as high on the float as you can get. Hopefully above the 2 seamed halves. Put the hinge in place. With the soldering gun in place on the hinge ,with a little pressure ,pull the trigger and you will see the solder come out between the float and the hinge. Quickly lay your gun down, with a little water in a spray bottle cool the float. It should be cool enough to put your finger on it. Now put a drop of solder on tip of solder gun. Put on vent hole a quickly pull your gun away when solder melts. test in freezer & then in boiling water. This works for me.
