I know that welding cast iron isn't an easy task... but I'm wondering if I found someone with good tig welding skills this might be repairable. Anyone ever done this???

I had a 1450 with the same problem mine was the bottom left bolt hole, I welded mine with a cast rod and it was okay, so if you can find a good welder it is fixable.
