So, I was snowblowing the other day and my 1.5" keyed shaft to 6 spline PTO shaft adapter split right on the groove for the key. Instead of spending $46 (with shipping) for a new one from Surplus Center, would there be a downside to just welding the stub to the shaft?
The adapter used to look like this:
Surplus Center link: 1-1/2" Keyed x 1-3/8" 6T Spline F/M PTO Adapter | 1 Piece Solid Couplers | Shaft Couplers | Power Transmission | www.surpluscenter.com
Now, it looks more like this:
The shaft it connects to looks like this:
Would I be better off clamping it back "closed", then welding it together, or cutting the stub off of the adapter, then welding it to the shaft?
When it was all together it used to look like this:

I have a torch, a old Lincoln AC only buzz box, and a bunch of 6011 in various sizes. I can also bug the neighbor and use his Miller 252, but he only has it setup on 120VAC, so its limited on how much power it can put out without tripping the breaker.
