Well as my luck goes (almost always bad luck) Looks like now I need to buy two new bearing retainer plates. I started to prep the first axle for a new bearing and was going to clean and paint the retainer plates when I discovered one had been welded and booger ed up I tried to save it but I don't have the right de-burring bits. Then I found the second plate was cracked anyways.
The welded plate came from the side with the toasted axle etc and wonder if this hack job contributed to the failure?
Figures I already made my run to Ames

I though this post would be showing my new axle assembled.
