My White Outdoor (MTD) L-170AD 17hp/42" has developed a crack about 2 inches above the oil filter. It's really only visible when the engine is running, the oil can be seen seeping out. Plans are to use a punch at each end of the crack, rough up the surface with a die grinder, then apply JB weld. Any thoughts?
The unit is 10 years old, with over 600 hours, and doesn't owe me anything. The engine still runs strong and would like to keep it around for occasional use. Already replaced it for mowing with a ZTR.
