[SEL] Cracked Head

Hi List,

Well - - - I finally did it.  Ignored the advise of others and never
thought it would get cold enough in my garage to freeze the water in the
engines.

With this cold snap ( minus 8º ) the water in my Jaeger 2½ HP S froze and
cracked the head.

There is a crack on the left side about 2" long from the surface of the
head to the front.

Can anyone give me any ideas as to what to do to fix or replace the head
?

Any experiences, methods or procedures with welding - Brazing - or - even
"maybe" J B Weld ?

I'm sick about it because it could've been avoided if I'd only drained
the engines before winter.
