Both my door hinges are broken off at the pin. I know they dont make
them any more but has anybody had any luck repairing on any replacement ideas.
I'm not finding much info. I haven't figured out how to attach a photo to posting.

Those hinges are made from stainless steel.

Most any welding shop can repair them.

The cause for them breaking is lack of proper running gear balance and/or a bad axle.

You can check the axle yourself, by reading the following article.

Dura Torque Axle
