Found this on Goggle: Cast iron is used for water pipes, machine tool castings, transmission housing, engine blocks, pistons, stove castings, etc. The metal can be brazed or bronze welded, gas and arc welded, hardened, or machined. In terms of limitations, the cast iron must be preheated prior to welding. It cannot be worked cold.

Matt, engine is WD45. Parts all over the U.S. Steiner tractor parts should have everything you need. Air cleaner is also WD45 tractor part as well as radiator. Yours is the first I've seen with a cab. The tube main frame is unique. Every other grader builder used square tubing. Check the mounts on the tube for the turntable cylinders. Everyone one I have seen here in Ohio is busted and the welding is very horrendous. Welding on top of a crack doesn't fix it.The best fix is cutting the damaged tube section out and welding in a new piece. I think yours is ok from what I've seen so far in the video. AL B in Ohio.

Cast iron is hard to weld reliably but it can be brazed, and end up stronger than it was before. The problem these days is finding someone who still knows all the tricks to do it. That might be a solution to the water pump problem however if you can;t replace it. I seem to recall Keith Fenner had some videos where he went into brazing cast iron in great detail.

Believe it or not, cast-iron can actually be a really nice material to weld i’ve done a bit of work with it and it’s kind of like working with aluminum where once you get it you get it. It takes a bit to figure it out but once you do, it is amazing when I was in high school, we made Annville‘s are old chunks of cast-iron railroad track mainly man it was fun to weld once you learn how
