I have had some success at work with welding cast iron with a mig welder. The trick is to use stainless steel mig wire. Just make sure all surfaces are clean and bevel the edges you wish to weld. Hope this helps. Failing that you can buy arc welding electrodes specifically for welding cast iron (if you have an arc welder that is).
