I have oxy/acet and can braze the crack if you like. I have arc welded 
them in years past, but it is very messy. I have also put them back in 
with short cracks. MIG should be easy also. It will take some grinding 
to get the area smooth enough for the smooth operation of the bearing to 
slide. I have everything except TIG in the welding department.

JB weld will not hold the crack against further cracking. If you try 
this, put a small drilled hole (1/8" or smaller) at the end of the crack.
