Delaval 73 spun shaft

I only weld one side so that in the future it will be easier to remove the shaft for a new one.

It's in the welders hands now. Dropped it off this morning. So fingers crossed he will be able to make it like new. I was able to line up the oil holes and put some screw drivers right through holes to hold it. They were exact size as holes so it worked out great. He's going to TIG weld it. He said he would be more comfortable doing it TIG to control heat. I didn't argue. So I'll have it back together tonight and running so I'll post how it turned out.
By adding the welds will it throw the balance of the drum off a bit? Hopefully not. But thought I'd ask.
