Left rear caster cracked MidMount Mower GC1725

   / Left rear caster cracked MidMount Mower GC1725 #11  
Well I rounded a wet sloping spot and hung my rear caster wheel on the mid mount. Effectively it bent in toward the tractor/deck. Now it has a crack and is not structurally sound.

Has anyone ever had luck welding these and having it last or am I just hosed? Will definitely need to be bent back to position and ground but wondered if a stick welder would work. The weld broke on the arm that connects the axle housing/shaft height to the two aframe pieces. Not the weld to the deck.
It was a poor weld to begin with, no penetration. Grind off all the local paint and take it to a pro. If repair is done on the machine, disconnect Negative Battery Cable before Welding.
