Axle and Key Way to far gone.

Working on a recent pick up, I noted the left rear hub wasn't right so i took her apart. I was all pump up to try Ed's brass key / weld thing, was pretty disappointed to find the PO had ground the shaft undersized. They tried to use some kind of epoxy, some remnants fell off. On the bright side, the hub was new and the bore was still good. 

Determined to weld something, I took an old worn out hub and welded it to the axle. Figure it would last as I worked on other things and figured if it this was going to be parts or repaired.

That'll work while waiting for your new axle to come in.
