With the gland nut being spot welded, I'd change it! Don't rely on that one. Welding it could have taken the temper out of the metal.
Also keep in mind; Gland nut torque is at least 254 foot-pounds.
I grabbed this amazing tool a couple of years ago to remove/install gland nuts and axle nuts:

At $80 I couldn't pass it up. The simplicity was worth every penny.
yea i will definently look into one
I just found another number on the side of the transaxle and cannot find it in any charts that would help pin the year down any better. it is a stamped number just below the case number, it appears to be 3976877. anyone have any chart that would cover this trans number?
If you did not miss any numbers....
1961, 6volt, 4.375:1 six bolt ring and pinion, short axle.
Stinger.....look at his engine pic.....
Has a 1200 (pre 66) carb and 67 generator.
I thought it looked like a 1300/1500 single port.
Whatcha think?
It is definitely a mix and match.
If it is a 61 trans he will need some tall tires for the highway.
Yes that does look newer than the 1200.
Concerns over having a 1200 carb on a larger engine.
I would make sure it is not running lean.
Yes that is a normal machine tooled area.
And that is one of the spots a 12v flywheel hits.
If it is a 66 1300cc the carb probably is not that bad. If it is a 67 1500cc or the 68 to 70 1600cc then it is likely to be very lean. You will notice right away as it will bog with acceleration and run hot at cruise. Sorta like low pressure on fuel injection.
