Model G flywheel problem

I have discovered that my 1949 Model G flywheel was installed 180 out at some time in the past. It
starts and runs fine. However the engine is out of balance and the tractor shakes noticeably. Can
I leave the flywheel as is and instead re-install the clutch driven plate (it is counterweighted)
180 out to correct the imbalance? I'd rather not get into the flywheel due to possible spline issue
that is currently "fixed". Thx, Richard
 
no its a do it right or let er be kinda thing,get them bout out of whack n your really bound for trouble as I'm not sure the clutch center driving disc wil install 180 off
 
Thanks for the advice. I pulled the flywheel today and the crankshaft splines look pretty good, just some wear/rounding on a short 1/4-1/3 inch portion of a couple splines. The flywheel splines are very good. Question: The end of the crankshaft has both a V mark and a shaved spline that are 180 degrees apart. I thought it would have one or the other, but not both. Is this standard to have two alignment marks 180 opposite each other?
 
The V marks should be together.
make sure that if your #1 piston is on TDC, the counterweight on the flywheel is at the back. At this point your timing mark LH impulse should also be at the rear.
