Something to be aware of is the ground clamp location. It should be as close to the weld as possible, yes, but under no circumstances should the current path go through a rolling element bearing. Welding current traveling through the bearing contact points will ruin the bearing.
Splines on your countershaft expired and you need the sprocket to be welded on as an emergency fix? Don't let the welder clamp onto the engine or frame.
