I'm curious why you are replacing weldment? Auger tube eroded on bottom?
Yes the end of tube is ovaled out and can see through it and I can't see welding it rather have a new weldment to put in it. See pic the end is way out of round can't see how bad it is in pic.

This can be fixed quite easily by pulling the firepot (which you already did) and bending a U shaped piece of metal to place under worn feeder tube. With metal jammed against bottom of tube, weld it in place and then grind opening to close to OE size. Suspect the auger tip wore down and allowed fire to burn into tube area, or feed rate was set too low (1-2). Definitely replace auger afterwards.
