I'd grab a hunk of cast iron and a hand grinfer and reproduce the
missing part - and weldit on with stainless steel wire and a tig
torch.
Cast iron is possible, but I've not got TIG. Just the AC arc welder where the motor is located. I've got a DC arc welder elsewhere.

Nickel 99 rod might do ok with what you have. I think its intended for
welding cast iron. Lots of clean and prep work, small welds to minimize
heat input, and peen continuously on each weld as it cools.
I have heard of guys using cheaper nickel 55 rod, but ... I don't reall
seeing it reccommended.
I'm not a real welder. I just play one on the Internet.
