Well I'm filled with encouragement now... Maybe I'll take a Dremel and just lightly buff the area around the crack

Curious what you mean about grinding a V-shape into the crack. I'll clean it off as well as I can and I'll torch it to make sure to boil off any remaining residue to give the JB as much of a fighting chance as I can, but what would be the point in grinding into the crack? Is that just to grind...

yea... I was gonna go out and take another picture but I'm fairly sure you're spot on. The crack started below but just traveled right on up. I'm gonna try some JB weld to see how much more I can get out of it... other than hopeful duck tape limp-a-longs, I guess I'll start looking for parts...

I've got a b7100 HST that had a leaky radiator that I've replaced. I haven't had issues since I put the new one in but I'm guessing I've got some nasty cold damage. I started it up a few days ago and noticed my radiator was empty so I filled it up but saw a pretty tragic drip of water underneath...
