Have an axle shaft here that has a groove in it from the former seal wearing into it. I know that I can put on one of those "sleeves" over the axle but being a bit on the cheap side (and always wanting to do things the haywore repair way) I was wondering how one of the epoxy fillers (Devcon, JB Weld, Liquid Steel) would work. I would sandblast the groove, then apply the filler and machine it smooth. Would this stand up over time (the tractor will have very limited use). I can always get to it later if it doesn't work since it is the outer grease seal and the seal is in the outer removeable housing.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
