Using reclaimed tool for load bushing or just get a oversize

Would it be better to team out the hole for the right bushing to go into the load control, or can I just get boling machine to make me a oversized bushing and put it in their. And what kind of compound could I use to help the bushing.
 
The hole likely is "egged out"/worn lopsided and nothing is gonna stay tight in there under the loads it's subject to, even with "magic puckey".

What do the folks at Boling suggest?
 
Mine on the 4020 were egged out pretty bad I drove new
bushings in With green loctite new seals new load shaft and
shimmed the yoke tight that was 15 years ago and they are
just now starting to seep a little but not enough to ever make a
drop on the ground . I need to redo my 3020 because the one
side of it leaks pretty bad it leave a big oil spot everywhere it
sits
 
I will second just installing load bushing with Loctite 680 retaining compound. I only have had to have two repaired in 40 plus years of working on them. Both of those had the load control shaft break and then pivot out of the housing. So they damaged the housing. Normal wear is usually is just over sized fairly uniform around the bushing.

The key to them not leaking again is to make sure the draft yoke is shimmed tight. You want zero side to side movement. I usually flatten the sides of the housing with an angle grinder. They get groves worn in them. Then you can get them shimmed to where they only move forward and back. This is how the bushing and seals where made to work. If there is side play the shaft works back and froth and eats the seals.
 
We had the John Deere dealer do ours and they never shimmed the yoke and it leaked from day one when I redid mine in 2003 I shimmed it just as tight as I could get green loctite the bushings and fixed the leak

thanks for the advice so, are the majority of those bore holes egg-shaped from normal wear, I guess I'm overreacting when I saw this.
