Hello guys I have a long story with a question at the end, About 5 years ago I was seeing quite a bit of anti-freeze in my spring and fall oil changes on my 1940 H Farmall. I took off the head had it magna fluxed and found it had several cracks. I paid about $400 to get the head welded up. Everything seemed good till the last two oil changes when I noticed the return of the anti-freeze. I changed the oil in September and the first cup out of the oil drain was anti-freeze. I realized it needed work but was hoping it could wait till next summer when I could try to find some funds to look into the problem and in the mean time I figured I would just crack the plug on the tractor a few times this winter. So last week before moving snow I cracked the plug and to my horror I drained about a half gallon of anti-freeze before oil started coming out. So now I have a problem, I need to clean my yard (and the neighbors yard) for the remainder of the winter and have $0 to put into the tractor. Plus I am afraid to put more money into a head that had already been cracked and welded. I looked into a remanufactured head and it looks like I will be looking at about $700. The question I have is, how do I know the remanufactured head is any better than welding my existing head?
