There is a huge crack in the pan just above the drain plug. Anyone near Nashville have a pan for sale?

I will fix it with my friensd trusty wire feed welder. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | you could also try some of the epoxy putty that you can buy at home depot or others,,have used this stuff for a lot of stuff, it will form as hard as steel.used it about 15 yrs ago on my 70 international to fix a leak on the gas tank,, it is still sealed,,,,,easy to use, roll it up and apply...regards..Fred

As Paul Harvey says, as a first resort, try JB Weld.

I dropped the tank and bought a welder, welded it then painted, reinstalled. Boy are my arms tired. The problem was it was parked at a house with a gravel driveway. No concrete anywhere. Man what a pain! Racing against the clock, the rain, not much fun. I have never been so nasty either.
Other than that it was cake.
Still leaks oil from the rear. Probably a seal. | | |
