Since the arms are cast your going to need a welding rod for cast iorn - the ones with a lot of nickle in them that are real expensive.

Preheat the arms - line it all up - weld it - only the top though. I like to use 5/16 rods on this.

I'm not too keen on the 701x, or 601x rods for cast as welds form this composition of rod tend to crack. Preheating the cast reduces this but the rods for cast iron plus heating will give you the best result.

The resulting weld will last longer than the original spline.

By the way I did hear of a guy who cuts the arm and welds flanges so you can tighten it like a clamp. Never got his name or contact info.

Good luck
