I have a No. 12 grader with some shoddy welding repairs on the transmission and high-low shifting levers.  Are these levers cast iron or cast steel?
Should they be brazed or otherwise?  If they are to be brazed; will they hold up in use?

actually the process for flame welding cast is bronzing.
it is very strong they use the process to repair cast gears so i think it would be more than suitable on a gear lever. but like any process it needs to be done properly.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
