Hopefully it is still in warranty.
I’m sure Belzona makes some absurd product that might be able to glue it back together successfully. For a little while. Maybe.
Im also sure that said Belzona product will cost more than a new knuckle.

We used to use a length of clothseline. Tie one end to each hub. For power steering, put about five turns from each side around the drive shaft, tighten up in the side you want, it'll be like a capstan on a ship. Trust me.

Assuming thats his BX23s - $438 for a new case - in stock and ready to ship.
The upcoming AC service on my wife's car will probably cost more

I actually HAVE successfully MIG welded such things. I was ignorant of all the advice it “cant’ be done” …. and “won’t last” …. and I am not a real welder….. So, I welded it out of stupidity….and operated that tractor another ten years before letting it go to the next ignorant owner 5 yrs ago who is using it still to this day.
(Cast-steel is not as troublesome as cast-iron and can be successfully-welded if pre-heated. One method is to run a bead in an adjacent, but unimportant area on the part first…. the heat will “soak” the area of the part to Actually be welded.)

Recreating the proper taper in that particular break is far more problematic than welding the break would be.

Fun fact, you can take a carbon water filter element (like a refrigerator) make a taper part on the lathe and use that to keep the weld out of the taper.
I've done it several times on parts broken across a hole.
