Curt, Does the break look anything like the attached pic? On this one The back of the cylinder and rock shaft housing broke away with part of the gear housing. Maybe if yours isn't this bad it will help you feel a bit better.
I'm pretty sure the cast iron alloy they use is brittle and not weldable. You might find someone who could braze it together but it will never be strong enough to hold more than a coat of paint. You should ask your dealer to get the Kubota rep to have a look. Sometimes they help out with parts cost on major failures, where it isn't a clear case of abuse.
