All OEM related XJ specific tech. Examples, no start, general maintenance or anything that's stock.

Think this can be JB Welded, or do I need to replace the radiator?

Needs to be really clean. I'd just drill a hole, epoxy in some copper tubing and put the hose back on. Make sure you stuff a rag or some paper towels down in the rad to keep any chips out.
