If you take it to the right welding shop your chances of a functional repair are good, probably much better than the chance of you finding a good cast welder. If they do not have a good understanding of the effects of expanding and contracting on cast iron, then keep looking. I can weld cast iron as good as the next guy if it is a stove leg or a drain pipe, but a pulley turning 500rpm, NO way. I had a crack in a big cast clutch pulley repaired this year, $50 per inch of crack, but the work done was beatiful and the pulley is still round. So, unless you a dealing with something rare like a Hoyt-Clagwell 40-65, you may be ahead to look for another pulley.
