[AJD] Styled G Governor Rebuild

[bill gray]

Thanks to Duane Larson’s recommendation I purchased Robert’s video on overhauling a governor and I am about complete in my repair. The one problem I a still have is with the sleeve.  Mine has several deep pits in the face where apparently it took too much force to move it since the pits match the weight arms.  Duane had suggested grinding the face smooth but I am afraid the pits are so deep that I would have to remove near half of the material to remove them.  
  I checked and new sleeves are available but Deere is quite proud of them ($90.00).  I was thinking of trying to build the face up with either weld material or some type of epoxy such as JB Weld then grinding it smooth. Then I suppose I could leave it as is since the pitting is the only problem.
  Anyone’s thoughts on this problem would be appreciated!
