The repair was fairly easy: I used a special stick-welding rod called Muggyweld, which makes fixing most
cast iron parts almost as easy as welding mild steel back together. I started by grinding out the back to
form a V-groove, and setting the parts carefully in the vise to hold everything in alignment. Then it was
a simple matter to lay a short bead, let it thoroughly cool, grind a notch at the front,
weld, let cool, and repeat for the two sides.
