Can't argue that your locktite worked. I just looked up your old thread where we discussed this on the N Board and believe you Way over thought this. Here's why. * I would pull the starter and weld the ring gear to the flywheel through the hole with a good cast iron welding rod. *It looks like you had to split your tractor to fix yours. * Ugh. * Four evenly spaced tacks about 1/2" long will not cause appreciable imbalance to your 40+ lb flywheel. * Takes about 5 minutes once the starter is out to weld it. * No drying or curing on the weld. By the time you get the starter put back in the tractor is ready to go to work. * 4 tacks are not destructive or permanent. They can readily be cut off with a slitting wheel on an angle grinder IF in 25 or 50 years the tractor needs another ring gear. *** Make Darned sure you hook your ground clamp to the front crank pully and No place else or you will arc through your crank bearings and ruin them.*** *Your way works perfect. * My way is better than perfect. It's Done!

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
