Take some .060 or .125 material (metal) and cut it to fit tight over the crack, clamp it up real good after cleaning what's under and the patch.
Find some 3/32 6010, turn up the amps so that you can strike a good arc and keep the gap short to keep the volts down..this is the important part,
put the heat on the patch edge and allow that material to weld to the parent material...your mower deck. Keep a small angle...40 degrees or less from perpendicular to the deck
..don't try to fill the butt up in one pass, let the rod buildup over the edge of the patch to the deck. And let it cool down to a point where you can touch it....use an airhose if you've got one...the idea is to get enough weld buildup so you can take a pass over it without stopping...
Used to weld old boilers up that were leaking....patched many a rusted up wall with hardly anything behind it.....practice a little before you try it on the deck.
