Funny you should mention that. My first thought was to buy a new key and weld it to the axle closing in the wollered out keyway. Then grind it down smooth up to the key and put the hub back on.
Funny side note - this truck has always been known as Leapin' Lena but no one knew how it got that name. My mom remembers driving it to the elevator with wheat and it was Leapin' Lena when she was young. She always said she sure could jump. She also said that old 207 was nearly imposssible to get started after it had ridden the sling up and flooded the engine. I'm betting that this has been a problem for many decades that was solved by putting another washer on the axle and tightening it down. When she loosened up she started leapin' again. The axle is cone shaped much like a little Ford tractor so it would pinch it tight for a while until it wore a little more off the key.
It doesn't do anything but check pastures, run to town for parts, and haul some hay and wood. There aren't any 7000 pound loads anymore for her. I'll bet a welded key would hold up.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
