Found this pic on the net (easier than taking one)

Surely it'll still work ok in one of those large grooves indicated where the weld is?

ah yes thats because the tosser didnt know how to assemble properly and thats the reason why people should have a NZFWDA license before they would be allowed to buy a welder

The weld doesn't touch the spring and from I can see the tab is still there.
My guess is that this guy has experienced taking one of these off in the bush and having it come apart and dropping bits in the mud
I have an additional clue to the mindset of the person. Both hubs were in a tied bread bag, inside a tied shopping bag, smothered in oil
