Default Repairing an old axe

I have recently bought an old broad axe which is cracked the whole length along the poll(i think caused by forcing too large a helve in..)I was wondering if there is an effective method of repairing this damage?ie welding it shut?..I have access to a MIG welder.My concern was if it was repaired by this method it would weaken the metal around the weld?Thanks for reading!
