You could always ream the hole on the bolster with an adjustable reamer. Do the same to the axle and have a machine shop spin a new pin to the new size. If going to that trouble I would have them put a oil impregnated brass bushing in the axle though. That would save cutting and welding on the bolster. I'm pretty sure those bushing are spun welded or just plain welded. I'm sure that IH didn't braze them in. Too time consuming to braze.
