I had the cast iron side cover on my BT-7 that holds the generator crack. A
guy local to the Detroit area repaired it and I had no further issues with
it. I'm pretty sure he said he welded it as opposed to brazing, due to the
strength required to support the generator or alternator. He also said many
to most welders wouldn't have been able to handle it.
So my take away was it CAN be done, but but probably not by most of us.

They're cast iron. I haven't attempted it, but it was discussed=
in
one of my welding classes. It's a specialized process, involving
precise pre-heating of the metal, but it can be done if the welder
is experienced with it.<br>
