Re: (ET) welding a ring onto deck motor

[Kim Petty <kim coveside net>]

I know more now. The ring is easily removed by making one slice across it 
in between two of the flange mounting holes(1/16’’ cutting wheel or a hack 
saw should work fine) then drill out the 5 spot welds , tap the ring with 
a cold chisel (or what ever you have) at the spot welds to finish freeing 
them, spread the ring slightly (twist a screw driver in the cut slot) and 
slide the old ring off.  Mark where the flange holes are before you remove 
it.( I now have a useable reinforcement ring.)
        Clean contact surfaces ,apply JB Weld,slide on the new ring with 
flange holes in the same place as the old ring. Make sure it is where you 
want it and install a SS hose clamp until JB Weld sets. This may be strong 
enough but if it were me I would then drill and tap two holes 180 degrees 
apart through the collar of the flange and the case so they miss the 
magnets(#7 drill for 1/4 coarse or #3 drill for 1/4 fine or proper drill 
size for what you will use as a tap) . I suppose instead of tapping one 
could just drill a 1/4’’ hole and push a bolt through from the inside with 
a nyloc nut on the outside. The nut probably won’t come off but you would 
not be able to retighten it with out taking the motor apart.(maybe JB Weld 
the bolt in?) Install motor with a second ring on the blade side.  
Michael, I will send you some pictures off forum.
