Not on a tractor,but on a big truck I have had to use a puller to get a drum off before.Also if you do that it will probably tear up something like an adjuster or a brake shoe.If you find out whats leaking,if its a crack,I would weld it,but Im a welder.I have seen stuff cracked before,but a stress fracture?If you abuse something it will break usually.Also putting something together wrong and running bolts uneven with an impact wrench or big break over bar can cause things to break real quick.There are lots of ways to break metal and any of them could be from stress or abuse or anything else.If its broke you can weld it,get another one,or other ways of fixing it might be JB Weld depending on where it is.If its a gasket or loose bolts thats not too bad maybe. I was a mechanic for 10 years or more.Always working on other peoples stuff.Actually got burned out being a mechanic.Bought an old H Farmall by accident really.I actually got a lot of satisfaction bringing it back from almost the junk yard.It was a satisfying experience when I got it running and used it a few times.Way better than fixing somebody elses tractor or truck or car for them.Some people like to wrench on things,some dont.I had to concentrate on getting my motor running first,then go for the other stuff like a cracked housing and loader that wouldnt come up but a couple of feet off the ground and a belly pump that leaked oil out as fast as you could pour it in.One back tire blew out just sitting there,put a new tube and a boot in it and it blew out again a couple of weeks later,so I put both new rear tires on it.Once I got it running I had to fix the other stuff so I could use it.The other stuff was actually harder than getting the motor running for me.I know I can walk around mine and find something else that could be fixed,but my loader goes almost all the way up,Belly pump leak is a lot slower than it was,motor runs way better.Maybe if you get your motor running it will make you want to fix it more.
