Bought a John Deere 185 that a exhaust valve broke off and put a hole in the top of the piston. Seeing the John Deere wants a 110$ for a new piston and seeing I am cheap and don't want to spend this much so I called a welding shop. They told me that they could weld the hole. Has anyone ever had this done? I was also thinking about JB weld but don't know how it would hold up with the heat and compression. I am putting a used head on it so that part of it is OK but can't find a used piston.
