Case baler parts wanted

I have a want ad on the classified but hope some Case affection-ado might see it here. Need Shear pin parts for 1960's Case 200 series flywheel. 👨‍🌾
Case says to use a grade 5 bolt,, there was no actual CASE offered special shear pins,, I use the smaller version I stock for my NH balers, some guys use grade 8 as they say they shear cleaner
 
I said the other part goes on the PTO shaft. It doesn't, it actually goes on the splined input shaft of the main gearbox, Sorry about the error on my part. Here are pics. The bolt hole is all beat out. 👨‍🌾

Are these sleeves hardened? Take a file and see if you can remove shavings from them.
If the file bites in, they are relatively soft and any guy with a lathe could make replacements, probably from a grade 8 bolt.

If the file just "sings"then they are hardened.

Machine shops use an object called a "drill sleeve" or "drill bushing" in dies and molds to provide a non-wearing location for dowel pins, drill bits and such. These are hardened so you would need to get an exact ID and an oversized OD bushing.
You would ream or bore your present arm a thousandths or so (.001) undersized provide a press fit to accept the new sleeve, then press it in.

Can you find a bushing from another application or manufacturer that you could adapt your present arm to accept?

Is it just the holes that the shear pin goes into that are ovaled out? I'm with LPakiz above: I'd just bring them to a machine shop with some hardened drill bushings the right I.D. and with a suitably large O.D., have them bore the parts for a slight interference fit, and have the drill bushings pressed in. A quick/easy job for any machine shop, drill bushings are hardened and readily available for peanuts, and the result will probably be far tougher and longer-lasting than the original bushings. Should be a very quick/easy/cheap/standard job.

Or just drill a minimal clearance hole for the next size of bolt larger and use a larger grade 2 bolt henceforth.
