Even with my limited ability and skill to weld out of position, I'm pretty certain I could put that back together and make it better than new. It might look like crap but wouldn't break there or anywhere near there again.
I would probably get it together on the machine using the hydraulic cylinders advantage, tack good, then take it off to get in better position for the major plating/ repair.
There is plenty of room all around the boom to put all kinds of extra plating, braces etc.
Eddie I think you should have a portable welder rig owner take a look at it. that's what they do for a living. If you can find the part cheap enough, go for it, but I wouldn't pay out the nose for one.
Good luck, we're all rooting for ya!
