Hi Dave,
         Thanks for your reply - that sounds like a real "farmer repair" 
but does have merit. I think it would be easier to weld the darn flywheel 
to the shaft - I've seen that done before !
         Yes, the welder did do a great job - as mentioned, the welding has 
not failed and the crack has not re appeared so no need to blame them ! :-)
         Maybe I should just stick to Maytags :-)

Keep the revs up (or down)

P.S. "Rattlesnake", I've never tasted - I wonder if it's anything like 
"Puff Adder" ?
