[AT] Farmall C123 block cracks

[Grant Brians]

Well, I suspect I will need to either strengthen or replace this block.
There are parallel cracks on both sides of the block for a total of 3 cracks
that are each over 9 inches long in the horizontal area in the water jacket
above the crankcase.... I hope that all will work fine. Once again I think I
could use a parts tractor, sigh.

Grant, I did a similar job with that wonderful JB Weld on my A (C-113).
It has held for about a year now with no leaks; it was about 2 inches
long under the carburetor, a weak spot in the block from what I hear.

How long were your leaks?
