Things that some people do...

Yeah, it's welded. And Beeman, I guess it does the job fine but I can just imagine the previous owner trying to get the cam right a few times....going to put the set screw in only to have the collar turn on him....then saying "who has time for this?...I'll just weld it"

The weld was covered in grease so once I wiped it off I had a good laugh.

This is also the same axle that I still can't get off. I wonder if something else is welded?

Mike, I've run into that on a Max that I rebuilt. I used an electric die grinder and it worked great.

meh... as long as it works.. a weld can work quite well... just a little permenant and hard to change out.

It's like duct tape... works great, does the job well... but not supposed to be used anywhere... even on ducts.

[whipper-ag]

Am I seeing things or is that welded?

This is a picture of the outer collar on my Max II axles. Look at how it is held in place I have no more to say right now .......
