I've just bought a 1958 Dexta (957E 7005) with a Mill loader as my refurb project. Brought it home last night and had a good poke round everything. Everything is in reasonable nick, with lots of corrosion varying from needing a clean up and a coat of paint, to not there any more

Judging by the 'chewing gum' stuck to the block there is a crack under there somewhere. I don't seem to be able to upload a photograph which makes my explanation a bit difficult. I'm not sure if it is the standard place for the blocks to crack, but is to the left hand side of the fuel filter, near to where the stop cable is attached to the engine?
I am restoring the tractor back to its original state, and obviously want to get rid of this mess. Can the blocks be welded or are they better being metal stitched?
I am a welder/fabricator so should be able to manage it
