Question? Peened inner front wheel bearing

[midgetracer]

The inner bearing race is in the hub, the bearing is on the spindle.

How would you define slip fit? As is it slides onto the spindle, it's not loose like there's any play but it can be turned by hand.

That's the way it should be. The race actually slowly rotates on the spindle, allowing it to wear evenly instead of only on one place, the bottom.

The bearing has 2 races, one in the hub and one on the spindle, w/the rollers and cage inbetween.

Farmer fixes are very common on the model A vehicles. Knurling would be better than peening but a person wonders if there is any concentricity left after that. I'd call Bert's for a good used spindle and use that one for yard art or something.
