Welding a cast steering box?

[Speeding]

Is it possible for a pro to weld a mounting tab back on a cast PSC steering box? Broke one or two (of four) tabs off the last time I had a deathwobble, finally found the it tonight after replacing everything else. :

I think best is with a stick, but can be done with a mig with pre and post heating on the cast material, but I am not expert at all, really a newb to welding but I have read a little about it.

To do it properly that box would have to be completely broke back down stripped bare preheated and all that crap. F that mang..

I got this. Use only nickel rods or wire, which are very high $$$, like $60 for 5 rods. P is right though it needs to be broke down so you can preheat and postheat and not burn the seals and all out.

The box was on the Jeep when I got it and I don't think I have any paperwork for it, so warranty probably won't happen. I don't think they would sell just the box without the gears so I'm looking at $415 or try to weld what I have. At least I know it can be done.
