So you moved this @Bald Rick to the wrong section

Assuming king pin is the turnover pin, according to the parts diagram above, the pin is threaded on the end with a castellated nut. I imagine there should be a shoulder on the other end of the pin to stop it coming out the other way.

Yes it is , looks like it's stripped the thread , oops , welder ???

Drill a hole in the pin, not too deep, so it stays in a low stress area. Then weld a plate over a bit of pipe to replace the original nut, bolt up to pin. Two bolts might be better actually.

The nut is still in place , as I say the thread has been stripped , bet the pin won't be the easiest to drill in to
Could drill the nut in to the pin and whack a roll pin in

Had a dp8b which did that and the snap ring at the other end of the shaft had come off iirc.
