I was wondering about ways to fix egged out holes. Mainly for hitch pins and for hydraulic cylinders. The hole I have to fix cant be easily removed to send to a machine shop. So any ideas?
Bore it oversize, have machine shop make a steel bushing that fits in oversized hole with proper ID inner hole. Drop bushing in the hole and weld it in. I've done it many times.
Take a look at post #25 of this thread. https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?13113-What-happens-when-you-don-t-grease/page2
Can you post some pics of what you're working on Justin, would be a lot easier for us to offer ideas then.

When you weld in the new bushings get a good sized piece of brass plate and use it as a backing plate wile you weld it will save time and keep your weld from running out.
