Okay rrrr, this is going to sound totally Micky-Mouse backyard mechanic, etc.
I lost weights on a driveshaft once (car) and it was way too out of balance to to ignore.
I put a hose clamp(s) on it with the screw-buckle where the weight was. Fine tuning was a matter of loosening the hose clamp and rotating a few degress.
Okay everybody, start shooting

p.s. is the welding equipment properly adjusted to get good penetration...to adequately fuse the weight to the shaft?
Seen that done, what is better is an old bike tube tied around your neighbors driveshaft so when he drives it slaps the underside and sounds like a flat.
