Thanks to those who replied on this thread. It would appear that the wear indicated in my original post will be OK; so no plans for any machining etc. Amongst my spares I have a new sleeve for the O/S bearing which is couple of thou under the unworn shaft size. Application of a little heat has enabled that to rattle down to the far end of the shaft so that at this point there will be about 10 thou clearance.
I was puzzled that this thread no longer appeared on either "New Posts or "Today's Posts" which is where I normally go (probably nobody else does!!). Not any longer! The package appears to only allow one screen here so the preferred route, especially if you are not in here every day, is to click on Forum Chat and start to explore the 70 odd pages where all the topics are listed.
Incidentally, there is quite a bit of chat about cross-shafts on the Old Forum q.v.
