Farmall A rear wheel hub repair

The bolt holes on the cast iron, right side rear hub on my A are worn very oblong. The 4 bolt holes on the hub where the rim attaches. Is there a way to repair these holes on a cast iron hub? Someone I know suggested machining the hub for press in inserts to fix the bolt holes, but I was thinking of metal spraying to rebuild the holes. Any ideas?
 

The bolts just pass through the holes into nuts. The holes were never threaded so no heli-coils, the former owner must have ran the tractor with the rim to hub bolts left loose wearing and enlarging the holes.

To be clear it is not the holes that hold the hub to the axle, these are the holes that the removable tire rim attaches to the iron hub.

Usually As have a iron hub on one side as a counterweight for the offset engine, the hub on the left side are usually a lighter steel plate hub instead of thick cast iron on the right.
 
Just get some new grade 8 bolts and mount them back just get them super tight i would go with fine thread and new lock washers and you will be fine. Ive got some good ones you can have but they do weigh 140lbs where are you located im in Iowa.
