The other folks advice is sound. I'm fixing the same kind of problems with my equipment. The only other thought I have is if you're an
artist with a cutting torch you can cut the
area out into a nice round (or whatever shape)
and weld a new section of plate in with a bushing hole of the proper size. You'll still need
a good hole in the new plate for your bushing, but it beats trying to build up the original hole and
get it machined back to specs. I'm pondering purchase of a lathe or one of those combination mill/lathe jobs from China.. The last time I priced stuff from John Deere, they wanted $96 for a replacement pin 2-3/8 x 18" long. Needless to say I made one myself. Best of luck. bbott
