If the nosepiece was made of cast iron it wouldn't have lasted a month in service before snapping.They are more likely an alloy steel forging like En 16 as is the front axle.
I think I would have it welded with a low hydrogen rod E7018.You would probably get away with using one of the nickel based CI rods but wouldn't be very strong.
