I guess it is a load bearing leg then . I personally wouldn't trust a weld as it was explained to me a long time ago that alloy casings can be of infinite variations of metal ingredient and the welding wire to match doesn't exist . Besides if it broke while winching where else has the same fatigue , unless it was impact damage that broke it ?
Not sure if its the same winch or not but does this help http://www.sor.com/cat071.sor

yes it broke while winching, i have inquired amayama for original spare case, and they offered 280USD with shipping, is it reasonable price? Is it worth to repair that winch?

I broke mine winching, the wire rope jumped the drum and literally crushed the drum drivegear casing. I think the decision to keep & repair or to go electric, will depend on how much you liked using it. Electric had so many options, remit op, remote freespool etc. it won't be an easy decision.
