Good example!
To add to the list, if you have a bearing race in a bore that you can't remove due to access or whatever you can run a weld bead on the in side of the race. This will shrink the race enough that you can remove it by hand. I had to do this on my tractor recently and it worked like a charm.
Also on the tractor I had to change out a bad hydrulic hose and the old fitting was stripped out (outside part). I welded an old wrench to the fitting and was able to remove the hose.
