Thanks everyone - got it!
Well, sort of...
The weld didn't hold again, broke off where the weld hit the stud, but the heat from the arc weld must have annealed the extractor, and I pounded it through into the water distributing area. So now I need to fish that out, I plan on using a magnet down the hole where the water distributing tube goes.
Also, half the threads remained in a sort of crescent shape; the extractor hole wasn't quite in the center. So I then tried to drill and tap a 3/8 16 hole, and that is sort of out of round, so I'm going to get a heli-coil for 3/8 16 and install that. The metal where the threads go is less than 1" more like 5/8 or so thick. Plus my welding burned some of the cast iron away from the hole at the surface.
