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.

You have a beautiful machine. I don't have a manufactured mechanical power hammer, but i built one! This document help me a lot for the shape and sizes of pieces than i have to do.

Nice work! It's seem to have good running. How many pounds is the ram ? It's like a old style Beaudry hammer, Did you inspired
about that Hammer style?
I just finished to built one 100 pounds mechanical power hammer. It's a good feeling that 's provide to see all your work
result.
Congratulations and good work!

Here the connection system of the ram with this arms and ½ diameter coil spring. You see the rolls at
the end of arms made with recycled steel caster than i can lubricate with grease nipples. Anvil is made
by a 10 inch steel shaft, you can see the huge key hole, his weight: 518 pounds.
The hammer Just wait to be installed correctly to be effective.

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.
