Working on a 42" JD deck who's owner ran over a "piece of metal". The bore for one of the spindles in the deck is bent and has hair line cracks in several places. I have been able to beat the area around the hole to a relatively level surface.
I've welded up the cracks from both sides.

Any additional suggestions.....put a double ring around the area?

I am going to drill new holes for the replacement spindle housing....smoother surface.

Any additional ideas?
