These folks have a rod for cast iron. I have successfully used their
aluminum rod but have not tried the HTS-528 rod for cast iron yet, although
I have some.
Their trick is that the rods melt and flow at a temperature below what the
metal will melt, yet bonding and strength occur.

I've glued cast iron with epoxy which had steel filler, had the part break
agains but not where I glued it.
I used 6 hours to set steel filled epoxy (not the 5 minute kind), worked
it thoroughly into both sides of the break, and then clamped it together
very tightly, and let it set for two days

I might try the idea of heating the whole piece in a bed of coals and
then seeing what the MIG can do.

I reckon the 124 is as close as MB came to a boxy shape, I think it
actually works better in the 201 chassis.
