Chuck,
Being that I do quite a bit of cast iron repair, yes it most likely can be welded but best to stay away from any arc weld material. it can be welded with oxy/acetylene and cast iron in stick form , but to do it you will need to empty the case ,clean it in hot tank, do all the veeing and other prep,then it will need to be inan oven to preheat to at least 1000 deg (slowly), welded ,and very slowly cooled while still in the oven. Most likely this process is not practical .
I also use the the supplies from lock n stitch , they are a very good repair. The fellow that designed and patented the pins is Gary Reed ,i have talked to him and also his brother who shows up here on YT once in a while. If either one tells you he can repair it ,he can do it . Both of them also do much o/a cast iron weld . His brother trades under - industrial casting and gear- name is Guy Reed.
If you want to chat about it , send me an email with a phone # and I'll call you.
