I am totally in agreement with Dick on the no brazing, soldering, or silver soldering.
Have repaired quite a few by compressing out the crack, as Dick mentioned; then drilling and tapping for a 2x56 steel screw for support.
Of course, if the owner then uses an 8' cheater bar to tighten the wing nuts, it will break again!
