As for the question on the type of "weld on the head"---99% of welds, in fact, any weld that held on cast iron, was bronze, put on by hand with a torch. Torch welding, even steel welding on things like fenders, was used a whole lot back in the days. It had a lot of worpage on the thin goodies but the repair was always more important than the looks years ago! I'm near 80yrs now and still use bronze some---it's a good weld!
