Welding generator end plates?

[decvax!ahrendt@decwrl.dec.com (Dave Ahrendt)]

        Does anyone have any experience on fixing broken end
plates on generators.  I have an old spare generator for my MG-TC
that has one of the "ears" broken off at the front plate.  I assume
that these are cast parts.  Can these be welded with any hope of
success?

        Thanks and Regards
