well I not a "good" welder, butt i get by. I've done some welding on cast steel and not had any porblmes yet. once tried to weld cast iorn, not for my. heat it up and go. forgetit . if its steel, go for it. if its cast i'd try a mild rod and just some cold rolled .25 plate as a gusset. and weld the h:ack:l out of it!
