I'm a professional welder. I have learn the techniques to weld cast iron with smaw and oaw. I'm agree with ciladog but you have to pre-heat and keep the welding zone hot during all the process (beetween each pass) and tempered down very slowly with some refractory material like. 50 celsius degrees on 1 hours to optimized the weld link. If your not sure to do it, ask a professional welder, but don't expect him about some guarantees about the solidity of the work. Because the cast iron is not destinated to be welded, it's only a repair and it's never done a good fusion beetween the rod material (smaw= ni-rod). In time it will be crack again near to the link zone. Yes you don't have lot to lose in trying. -

Ram guide is this flat bars of steel machined with v groove and welded on each side of flanges h-beam. They are 1 inch ¼ thick by 19 inchs long. I have drilled two hole in each plate aligned with the groove center to install grease valves. Two 1 inch steel square bars welded on each side of the ram and it's slide well. -
