Welding cast iron is very dicey at best. Totally luck if you get there or not, due to residual stresses, after cooling ,as steel and cast iron expand differently ; that leads to later breaking. They are small enough that a specialty shop might be able to braze it? much lower temps involved at repair. I have often wondered why someone does not make a steel tubing version of those ; a tight steel bend and two brazed or tig welded steel flanges? . Not a good place for cast iron and the flanges are too thin as they made them (in my opinion, anyway.) . Not sure that helps you , I know ? be sure heat riser valve is working right. Overheating not uncommon with frozen axle on that valve , aggravates all this.
