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

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
