Default repairing the shaft

Hi there, I just thought that I would share with you the way that I repaired the broken shaft of my compressor. I decided that I would make a new extention and butt weld it on to the old shaft, mainly because I couldn't free the shifter fork off the old one, and didn't want to risk trying to heat the fork (looks like it's die cast) and end up with a blob on the floor!
Photo 1 a piece of 1"x1/2" turned on a mandrel (3/8" bolt) roughing out
Photo 2 after linishing to final shape
Photo 3 setting up to weld in some angle about an 1/8" gap to weld right through
Photo 4 1st run in check alignment
Photo5 finished weld just got to linish back to flush so gland nut can come down
Photo 6 on and working fine time for a Bundy can
