Welding cast iron - machine broken in transit

<< < (4/4)

Gerhard Olivier:
just an idea

Would it not be possible to cut of the piece of CI horizontal and bolt a piece of mild steel on from the bottom -from the pics there seems to be enough material.  This would not be the idea restoration but would be strong enough to last.???

Our local welder no longer welds, fixing things, his true calling is in an art form, he also works in acrylics to do preliminary designs for his projects.  http://www.steelisalive.com   His medium is othr peoples castoffs and throwaways, some folks call it junk.  "One mans trash is another mans treasure"

Cast iron can be easily welded. It requires pre heating and a high nickel rod but any competent welder should be able to do it.
