[SEL] Need Advice on Cast Part Repair

[John Hall]

I had to build up  couple of the rocker arms on my Titan tractor. I welded 
them with nickel rod and then belt sanded them back to shape. Best I can 
recall I didn't bother to preheat since there wasn't any cracks and since 
the area was so small I wan't generating a lot of heat.

I need some advice on the best way to build back up a worn area on my Stover 
Fuel Pump Actuator arm. Take  a close look at the picture below and if you 
look closely you will see a flat area that is worn on the arm. I want to 
build this back up and was wondering the best way to do it..brazing, 
welding, metal spray, metal epoxy,etc:
