welding a crank pully to the crank
ok, most of yall know i do towing for a living. i brought my first truck earlier this year, but i am lloking to get a second for cheap. i am looking at an 87 ud (nissan). its a flatbed truck which is what i need. the guy wants 4500 for it, i am trying to talk him down to 3000. the truck runs good, but i guess the screw came loose for the crank pully and it came loose while running. he said the end of the crank got mushroomed. i am still waiting on pictures. i know alot of this stuff work on balnce. how bad would you say it would be filing down that part of the crank and then welding on the pully. if worse comes to worse, if the truck is cheap enough, ill just replace the motor.

yeah, the truck is up in maine, i am in boston, i doubt ill be able to drive it back, so ther goes an expensive tow.
but will the welding throw off the balance? not sure how that works. coild i get someting like a fulid damper, lol

even if the truck is shot, its worth 3 g's just for the bed and working hydrolics. is it a steel or aluminium deck? i know that the steel full size (19-21 ft) decks are worth 10gs in working order. its like getting a free truck with your bed.
ps
I do towing & recovery. big rig rollovers own me. i can ****** anything with a flatbed, and the gun is part of the uniform.
