[AT] Cracked diesel block opinion question

[carl gogol]

Should I go near an AC 170 with a Perkins 4 cyl 236 diesel engine that has a 
cracked block?  The crack is on the side - I'm told.  Otherwise the tractor 
is allegedly cream for its age and starts easy in the cold and runs clean. 
Any comments are appreciated.  Comments on such (possibly) non-critical 
cracks and the Perkins engines in general are appreciated.

Lets see - 6 egg whites and an ounce of black pepper and I'll never know it 
is there???
