I have welded cast iron before - it isn't easy but it isn't too hard either.

You need nickel rods (expensive) or rods that are specifically for cast, they usually have some nickel content. Heat the cast with a torch, then weld, then cool SLOWLY.

I recommend taking something like baler needles to a welding shop, they have much better tools for this job - and possibly a guarantee.
