Built up rollers used to be pretty common, and there are probably still some shops that do it. But gggraham is right. Non-OEM manufauturers have forced the prices down so much that you are better off going ahead with new. They are made to original specs and carry a warranty.
However, if you insist on doing your own, tear the rollers down and clean them up. Build up to approximate spec, don't worry about machining and or even chipping off the last row of slag. The built-up roller will smooth out soon enough under operation.
Once the welding is done, new seals and possibly bearings or bushings are needed. There is no good way to weld up worn rollers that are assembled. The seals won't stand it. I'd use a better wire than 7018, maybe a 11018. Don't use stainless or hardface, stainless is too soft and hardface will just chip out quickly.
Once the roller is rebuilt, it has to be refilled with oil, unless you have some old grease filled rollers. Use the tractor manufacturers reccommendations for lubricant.
I used a lot of the rebuilt rollers on the eastcoast during the eighties, bought most of them -- and rebuilt rails and idlers too -- from Albin Tractor out of Baltimore. Got away from them though as new hardware became cost competitive.
Good luck!
