Not only a time saver but project saver too. Out mowing the walking trails around my ranch, there’s a particularly thick weed covered area in the deep woods that I was working on widening. A hidden pine branch got in between the belt and one of the pulleys on the ride on mower, and spun the pulls on the shaft. With the splines on the pulls stripped, and no extra pulley I would have been dead in the water waiting for extra parts. Disassemble, hit it and the large nut with a flap wheel to expose raw metal, clamp it to the welding table, a quick blast from the Miller MiG. Back in business. The nut now acts in the capacity of the splined pulls, but the mower finished its work and will be fine till the new parts arrive. Saved by the MIG
