Default fixing small backhoe bucket teeth?

I finally got the little bucket from my father-in-law, the one I'm going to
replace the hogged-out pin holes on, and I noticed it's missing one of its four
teeth. The teeth apparently pin onto fingers that extend from a plate. The
missing tooth has been gone for awhile because the finger it slips over is worn
down to a nub.

I'll shoot a picture later.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Rebuild the nub with weld deposit and grind it to perfection?
