Broken casting

When I bought my TO-20 last year, it didn't have sway chains mounted in the 3PH, and didn't have the sway chain anchors mounted on the rear axle around the PTO. I got to looking closer after I start working on the tractor and see the bottom of the axle on both sides is broken out at the treaded hole where the anchor bolts into the axle. I only have about 3/8 inch of good threads left in each bolt hole. I have added new sway chains and sway chain anchor brackets to the axle, but there isn't much metal holding the bottom bolts in the axle on each side. Any ideas on anything I can do to rebuild and retap the bottom threads? Think there is enough depth in the axle to drill and tap deeper?
I have temporarily added a third anchor across the bottom to connect the two bottom bolt holes to reinforce each other, but I am looking for a way to get more threads holding the bolts on each sides. Ideas would be appreciated

George, I went out and looked at mine and it does look like theres some room to drill deeper and tap more threads. But if you drilled thru, you wouldn't want the shavings in the differential. Probably better drain it and use a magnet if you do. Also, theres that in between bolt down there in the middle that could be used for reinforcing the outer two if you could work a bracket in including it. I notice mine all have a spacer in between the vee bracket and the housing, you'd probably have to make a couple. My advice is drill them same size as bolt, (no clearance) so they can't cock as easy. Looks like you can save it. Old bolts must have worked loose to break housing.

Could you install the sway bar brackets instead of the limit chains they connct under the fender to a bracket that goes on bottom side to the lift arms. Mine really hold good and you would not need sway chains I think. one of my bolts for the chain part that bolts on at PTO goes right through the housing because when I removed it fluid ran out of the hole.
