Okay, the machinest that made new parts for my jack happened to be highly knowledgeable about metals, and understood alloys and how they interact. Any good machinest should have basic alloy knowledge, without being necessarily a "metallurgist". I just used that description because mine impressed me with his unusual investment in equipment and his degree of alloy knowledge, which was way over my head. All I'm getting at is that what may be an option for you is a good machinest shop.
I have no experience with any machinists in Bend, but with ranches and farms aplenty around Central Oregon, that need machine parts repaired regularly, I'd expect to find some reputable and capable ones. Perhaps Tye or Ken or one of their techs knows someone and can advise on Monday. Then again, I'm not familiar with the part in question, and a machine shop, advanced or basic, may not actually be a viable option. But it would certainly be something I'd look into.
