Cracked block after Cracked block

I left my home about 1:00 this morning so I could be at the Farmall salvage yard at 7:00. I got there at 7:00 and I saw a very sad sight where Farmalls went to die. I even saw an industrial 140.

I got the block I was looking for. I rushed back home and took it straight to the Napa machine shop. The guys at the machine shop are good guys and they went ahead and magnafluxed the block. Huge crack showed. It couldn't be seen by the naked eye, but once they through the powder on it was very clear.

I just can't understand why I'm having this kind of luck. I'll post some pictures as soon as I am able for others to be able to reference.
 
sounds like if you didn't have bad luck--you wouldn't have any. bummer. do like i do, when I'm not really looking for any thing, bam i hit me when i least expect it. good luck
 
So where is the crack the crack behing the carb isnt a big deal easy to fix without welding. I have one ive been driving in the tractor ride many yrs patched with rubber cement to cover a bad welding job.
