I have this old machine I'm working on in my spare time. When I say old,
it's really old, probably pre-1920. It has two shafts which had gears
fixed to them by pinning. The shafts were drilled and the gears were
drilled but the holes didn't line up so they just took thin pin stock
and banged it in so it bent but jammed in there "good enough".

Weld it on with a good BAP with a MiG.


Loctite? You can always heat it afterwards, to get it off.
