Emergency repair job

I got a call from retread company that does the huge tires for loaders and dumptrucks, you know the 8-10 foot tires.  Well this is the shaft for the tire grinder that spun a bearing and ground a groove about 3/16 deep where the bearing rides. Here are a couple pics. Enjoy
Reply:Wow! that looks awesome, I assume it will all get machined down? So what welding process did you use on that?  Give us the specifics
Reply:Yes it gets turned down. I used my Esab Heliarc 352 TIG welder. With 3/32 tungsten and 1/16 filler wire
Reply:Awesome job,How long did it take you? and did you weld it vert. or horiz.?

Reply:don't know. I welded it and ran it back. They turned it back to size. Must have been very little as the said it was an awesome job.
