FYI- want to know how I didn't get any weld in the holes for the sprocket carrier? If you'll notice the dark area around the screw holes,I made one weld around the shaft but at the holes I appllied a dab of wheel grease. When your done the weld basicly falls off!!!Since I turned it to clean it up it really turned out nice. Grease is what you use when you don't want weld spatter or the edge of a weld to bond near threads. Sorry if this was already a well known tip-
