I was wondering how successful it would be to “sleeve” the drive shaft seal area,

I’ve thought about that but haven’t tried it yet. The idea was to turn a stainless sleeve slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft and then weld it on. Then it could be finished to size in the lathe and keeping it true at the same time. The only issue then would be getting the bushing in the housing reamed/honed to fit as I’d have to send it out to a machine shop to get that done.
