That's the engine Serial Number. The machine is 6DS01814.
I'm assuming that you are trying to replace the pins in the 108-5672 Lever As, Item 10 in the illustration below, correct..?
For a kickoff the plate will be nothing super-special, probably no more than a good-quality 28mPa yield strength structural steel. Neither will the original pins be case-hardened for that size of a machine, unless I am mistaken. They will simply have been manufactured from a good-quality steel for manufacturing pins.
What material did you use to manufacture the replacement pins.?
So I'm going to defer to Welder Dave & the weldor as regards detailed welding technique, but IMHO E7018 should be fine for this job. It's probably what the factory welded it with in the first place although they would've probably used wire.
Something like an 8-12mm (3/8"-1/2") 45-degree chamfer on both ends of the hole in the plate then fillet weld the pin to the plate on both sides would be my thought. I'll see if I can't knock up some sort of sketch to give you an idea.
Pre-heat ought to be no more than 60-70 DegC, just enough to keep the moisture out, then to maintain a maximum interpass temperature of possibly 120-130 DegC during the process.
The complicated part will be to grind the inside surface so that the weld ends up smooth and the finished repair will not rub on the tilt cylinder rod end or on the tilt lever when everything is assembled.
