Fresh break on that cast iron flywheel..

That string looks mean..

Yeah cust asked if i could fix the flywheel. Sorry.
Used a hacksaw and a cold chisel to cut the stuff off then found it got up in the bottom bearing. So they get to buy a new spindle.

Hard to weld Cast iron, can be done tho,,

I bet that wire string did get in the bearing.. Yeoww..

I found the guy a used flywheel on fleabay for $100. Cheaper than wasting time with a maybe fix.
