[AJD] JD 530 Restoration Questions

[Dee Schuyler]

Ken ,
I had a similar problem with an early A  I went to our local driveline
repair shop. They have all different  sizes and wall thickness.  Nice stuff
to weld to the manifold , thicker than exhaust tubing so it should last
longer.  They always have left over pieces.
Depending on how much welding you are going to need to do
$77 might not be bad , at least yours is available?
JB weld should work in your other question. I would sure try it.

> I had to take the upper water pipe apart on the 530 that I am attempting
to restore.  In removing the front and rear connections, I somehow managed
to egg shape the water pipe.  The pipe appears to be corroded on the inside
and I would like to replace it prior to putting it back together.  Has
anyone ever use exhaust pipe for this purpose?  The pipe is available from
Deere but at about $77.00.  Seems a little pricey to me.  Any other
suggestions for replacement?

>  Once apart, I sand blasted the front and rear castings and both seem to
be in fair shape but the rear casting has some deep corrosion where it would
mate with the block?  Can I use PC7 or JB Weld to fill these pits without
fear that the epoxy will soften with time?? Any suggestions would be
appreciated
