65 ohhhh barracuda

Farmer John on dope! Shame. I'd attack that with a zip wheel and see if the welds penetrated. Maybe you can break them up and use a slide hammer and some jaws and pull that BS right off the shaft.
Yes so that one by one tube steel in the inside where that round part connects to the input shaft into the gearbox it was welded on the bottom and the top and then he welded the one by one pipe on to the top of that so it's got 12 three different weld places two on the shaft and then one at the very very top yeah it's trash job.
