clean up all the tacks with a grinder, make it all nice and shiny then mig weld the shaft to the sprocket? or clean up tacks hammer on nut then mig weld it to the shaft so at least it will look sort of like it is supposed to
i can not see how it can not work
yes i am cheap
any input will probably stop me from killing this mower
thanks
