Hard surfacing with a MIG welder

I have purchased a small dozer that will have to have weld build-up on some of the carriage sliding surfaces.

I know there are alloys of sticks that are commonly used, but are there alloys in .035" wire that will be good candidates for weld build up.

This is an old dozer and parts are difficult to get for it. Therefore, weld build-up may be an option.

I would like for it to be harder for wear, but still machinable to bring back to size.

The local welding supply in Dayton, OH is a Lincoln and Hobart distributor. Are there wire alloys made by these manufacturers in 50# spools for .035" wire?

In the mid 80's the company I worked for purchased 50# spools of a lincoln hard face wire to do surface build up on giant trash compactors. This was how new people(welders) past muster spending days just putting down weld on these giant steel paddle wheels. I know it was available then I just cant remember the name or # of the product

Lincore 55-G. It's lincoln. But, if I were you I would go for a self shielded wire. There is more variety, and more applications to chose from. I'm not positive, but the smallest you may be able to get might be .045. You might even check into seeing if there is a dual shield wire.
I've never used a hard facing wire. I typically just use rod. Go to the Lincolnelectric.com web site and go to the product information page.
