Most tractors are made of cast steel.You can check it by taking a grinder to it and if it throws sparks you can weld it.6011 or 7018 and other rods will work.Nickel is not necessary.I like to heat it up with a torch if its a long weld,it also helps to clean it off if its real greasy or something.Bolt it together or what ever you need to do to get it like it needs to be,grind a V in it,tack it to hold it in place,weld it an inch at a time,grind the slag off,peen with a pointed chipping hammer,weld another inch.Dont stop until you are done.If it cracks beside your weld,grind a v in the crack and weld again.If its a long weld,heat it up with a torch as you weld and when you finish so it cools a little slower.You dont want it real hot like glowing,but kind of hot,way hotter than you would want to touch.Probably wouldnt even need to do anything if it was a weld say 2 inches long,except weld it.
