Build up bearing seat area on shaft?
I have a shaft on an antique bulldozer that has the bearing seats worn down approx. 0.002". It iwll take an act of congress to get the shaft out of the frame, and I am wondering if I can plate the areas (3" diameter) with a brush to build them back up. I am wondering about either the hard chrome or nickel. THe shaft is static (does not turn).
How close do you think I could get as far as having the same thickness of plate around the shaft?
Is it possible?
