But of course, mild steel can be hardened.. and Lllloyd is the man who can
tell you that it can be.

I'm sure your welding will be at least as hard and strong as the
original. I think MIG will localize the heat better since you can weld
for a second at a time with cooldown in between, and thus damage less
of the original plating.

All he said, plus, if the finish isn't the most important part for you
(say, you could paint or re-plate, etc), you can spot-harden the weldment
area to your taste, making that bearing area more durable.
