It's cracked above the basket. I think it might be cracked below as well.



I can get an all-welded on new one for around $140. Would it be worth it have this one repaired?

A really good welder might be able to save it, but for how long? The usable metal might be a bit on the thin side. FCP has a 'new' one for just over $200:

You might need some new bolts and gasket set. At least the access is easier than the turbo models.

yeah, thoughts as well. I don't buy from FCP any more, but I can grab an all-welded one from a number of sources for under $150.

Weld repairs are in that area are not forever and sometimes never work. Since it will take some labor to remove and reinstall, I would go with a new one. Why repeat the process if the repair welds fail in a few months. This Ebay link has some brand new ones for around $140.

Thanks, I was considering one of those specifically.

I've never trusted mended cast-iron, but for certain vintage applications it's acceptable.
