groove worn in shaft of my vermeer baler

was changing a wore out chain today getting ready to bale some hay hopefully around end of next week. and noticed a bearing was wore out, pulled the bearing off and the shaft had a groove wore into it. its the main lower drive roller on a 505 super I. what yall reckon a machine shop would charge to weld and turn it? might be just as well off to buy a new shaft but i hate to see price of it. just a 2in wide spot that would have to be fixed, but dont know how much trouble would be for them.

It sure depends on your machine shop. Prices vary around the country. Likely will be much cheaper than a new shaft. If it's a good machine shop will be good as new. The most trouble will be getting the shaft out and back in, I assume you are going to do that.
 
There's a shop here in Mid Michigan who's built them up for me for $35 an end. I took two upper rollers to them and had both ends done.
 
Most any machine shop can even build a new shaft for half
what an oem shaft is building it up should be even cheaper
