Welding, punching and peening the axle shaft would not be a good idea because of the chance of the axle breaking afterwards, and that is not a fun thing when you're driving the tractor!

Deere has a fix for you problem, assuming is has not been done before. They have a new bearing cone with the inside diameter a few thousandths less than the original. You have the shaft ground down to the new specs. at a machine shop (crankshaft grinder) and use the new bearing (JD10003, about $51.00).

If the shaft has been ground down already, there SHOULD be a "star" on the outer face of the axle shaft, hand-stamped with a chisel.

I'm not ABSOLUTELY sure this fix applies to all serial numbers. Check with a Deere partsman.
