580 ductile iron pin loose, any way to fix?

Just curiosity from other people as I've heard Case's ductile iron can be impossible to work on. Linkage on loader was loose, been fixing issues but found this linkage didn't have a bushing and is quite egg shaped, any way to weld and line bore or bore and sleeve with a new bushing?

    Line bore & bush. The only alternative is the pin system where you provide all dimensions. I think they call it "The Expander" I just replaced a different component with an aftermarket welded steel replacement at half the cost of a Case part.

    A good machine shop can bore that and install a bushing so factory bushings will fit.
