Heat is the secret. If you don't have an acetylene torch, take it to somebody who does. With a brazing tip you can focus the heat on the plug, not the head. You'll have to get the plug cherry red, then it will come out. I always have the best results removing frozen fasteners while they're hot, although I know a lot of folks swear by letting them cool off or applying wax.
If there are any threads visible on the inside of the head, clean them up good with a wire brush before you do anything. You don't want any interference from crud on the threads.
The biggest challenge is going to be getting a grip on what's left of the plug. Chances are there isn't enough left of the plug to weld anything to. This is one of the few cases where I'd recommend using an easy-out. Get the plug good and hot (CHERRY RED), drive the easy-out into it and it should come right out.

The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
