Compensator stripped off crank and I'm wondering if anyone knows if I could weld it solid back together
I would not recommend it. It will soon bust off IMHO.
did it completely strip the drive side crank? only way to solve that is to split the cases and do a new left side. S&S has assembly's . or just do a short block from HD. so many ways to approach this. What year engine?
Myself, I would split the case, install new or used wheel with rods. your cost would be: gasket set (complete), wheels/with rods, your labor and maybe a few tools you do not have. If you try to weld the left case seal and bearing will be destroyed, the weld would more likely fail due to poor fitment and contaminants (oil, grease, rubber etc.....). should have ask this first, do you have the paper on this thing? if not good way to end up in the boys club. either way have fun.
