Yes to most of that. I can't for the life of me imagine it is cast iron, but if it was I'd take it to a specialist for welding - it can be done but it"s not an amateur job.

Given the consensus here that it is probably steel, whether forged or cast it should weld OK - but not with cast iron rods. I think some pre-heating is recommended for steel castings when welding? 

Given that Ian has obviously done this I'd listen to him!
