Re: (ET) [NEEAA] looking for someone to help with snowblower "reconversion"

You could try a decent auto restoration place, it is common to heat up 
shafts and 'spray' molten metal on worn surfaces then machine/grind them 
back to spec. I've no idea if that is practical in the case of your 
rotor, but have seen it done on engine parts such as camshafts.
