Hi' I loaned my brush hog to a friend. he had it so the deck would contact the driveshaft in the up position with the PTO engaged. result , deep groove in shaft about 1" wide 3/8" deep. I would like to fill- weld it to get the strengh back. Is their anything I should be concerned about before I attempt this ?? thanks a lot

AGEN is right. If welded, make the welds short and quickly place the second weld on the opposite side of the shaft to minimize the pulling to one side as the weld cools. Maybe even straighten the shaft with a press after it cools and is ground smooth.

HI Bob

I would get an angle iron to. Take it off if not too much trouble. Use an angle iron to make it straight or hold it an than weld. I would also hit it with a hammer after each weld to get the stress of the welded off, go slow as not to get it too hot and cover after your done with a pipe for extra strengh, only if you think you need it. Next tell your helper in crime ( the friend ) not to drive it if it is making a funny nosie, I don't like radios etc. for just that reason.

Good Luck !!

As long as the shaft is just mild steel, I would see no problems welding on it. However, I would be careful with how much heat you put on that spot while you welded. If you just weld the notch shut, you will put a lot of heat on that one spot and likely warp the shaft (due to contraction of the metal as it gets hot). If the shaft gets warped, it will vibrate and you'll have all sorts of trouble.
