Nathan,

That happened to me about three or four years ago. I tried to find what I posted on the subject, but, as usual, can't find it back.

Mine hadn't quite come apart to the extent yours did. I cleaned out and enlarged the cracks with a Dremel tool, and then MIG welded them. For good measure, I welded extra metal shaped from 1/8" thick flat bar over the cracked areas. So far all is holding up just fine.
