Little Giant Ram Lug

At some time in the past the lug was damaged and repaired. There isn't much material left on the outside of the lug and I don't trust the weld that is there.

The points above are very good ideas. Clean it well and check for damage that is hidden (cracks painted over). I f there are issues those would need to be addressed. If the material is sound, I suggest doing sa little as possible. A sleeping option would be good. Consider a minimal over size hole and make a new pin? If the integrity is good, and you want it to be prettier, then epoxy fill (JB Weld) profile and paint.
