I will PM his e-mail.
Your correct about boring and sleeving being the best way to repair. What I have done with farm equipment in the same predicament is to take a prick punch and punch the inside of the bore may be in a pattern about a 32 sd. Of an inch apart and then use locktite bearing mount. I wouldn't repair a road vehicle that way ,but on farm equipment I have had the repairs last the life of the equipment. The prick punch will raise the metal like a knurle will and the locktite will keep it in place. If it ever need to be disassembled heat the locktite and knock apart.

You don't really need a bigger lathe, you need a mill with a boring head.

Yeah I thought of that but don't have one might be cheaper to buy a new ride on but the mill would be good.
