[AT] How about Tractors.

[Gene Dotson]

    Tom;
    I have a Case VC that has the side of the block repaired
with JB. I have had it for 6 years and haven't added any
coolant to it yet.
    My brother has a Minneapolis UB pulling tractor that he got
a little too aggressive grinding the intake ports. Was a very
small leak. He sealed it up, but still leaked very slightly, so
he started using hydraulic oil for coolant. Worked real well.

: After reading about fixing freeze cracks with JB Weld on here
I decided to
: attack the 8C Cat 20. The intake passage through the block
was leaking
: water into it. I cemented a piece of 1" copper in there. This
is up at the
: ranch in Mariposa County so I will have to wait untill this
weekend to
: test it. Once I get it to where it doesn't leak too much I
will attack it
: with KD Block seal. If that doesn't work i will go to
waterglass.
