The saga continues.

I noticed two things on my cub. A knocking sound that occurs when I move into neutral, and a badly notched engine to driveshaft coupler. Thinking they might be related, I decided to weld up the notches, replace the fan, and, paint the shaft and coupler. My question is; should the shaft to rag joint be square? If the driveline isn't perfectly straight, it shouldn't matter if it's a little off of square because the rag will be flexing anyway.

Should I get the welder out or just slap it back together?

Look at the pics....

BTW copper pipe perfectly fits the coupler for welding.
