A casting is a component that is made in a mold by pouring hot metal into the mold and letting it cool to solid. Most farmalls are constructed from castings (grey cast iron) The only parts of the structure (on an H cause I know you are interested in them) is the front frame rails which are channel iron (rolled to shape when red hot, not molten.
