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?
