tell us more about your tractor. back hoe? what were you doing when it cracked?

its going to need a new casting, you could probably braze it but it will have to be taken apart either way.

It seems external. If I can see it, I can weld it. They make a special rod for weld8ng exhaust manifolds on a Cummins six, while it's still on the truck. A mig welder with s5ainless wire welds good on cast.

Well I was using a stump grinder. Finished for the day. Came out the next day and noticed some leaking fluid on the ground. Upon further inspection I notice that crack. 137 hours on it. Any idea how to find someone to work on it and how to order parts? I am less than knowledgeable when it come to this. Thank you

Contact the dealer you bought it from would be the first step.

If you have a loan on it, it’s insured and that repair is probably worth a claim.

Looks more like a casting flaw that was filled and painted over. Get some ole boy to weld it. I've seen many cracked heads and they crack between two valves. You might ask the seller if it's new. If dealer won't fix, find a welder. Whole lots cheaper than a head and gasket plus all the time.

Sounds like it should be under warranty so let RK fix it properly with all new parts under warranty, hopefully it was Defective parts and once replaced will never happen again.
