I agree with Redog, but repeat, welding cast aluminum is extremely hard (but dooable). The problem being that anything cast is going to have impurities in the metal, the new weld will have a hard time bonding to it. You can do it, but it is going to be very weak and aluminum is a very brittle metal to begin with. Chances are it will break very soon after. So therefor, don't pay 300 bucks to get it welded. If you can get it done cheaper or free, then do it, that way you're not out a ton of money to have it break again.
