Rear drum weight fell off

[judoant]

I replaced a wheel stud today and one of the 2 drum weights fell off. Should I get it welded back on (rebalanced at a shop) or just spend $50 and replace the drum?

Would a new drum need balanced?

I'd try some JBweld first, that should do it, clean surfaces well and mix it proportionally correct and you're there. Luck!

spend $50 and be done with it.

you don't need to do anything. you wont notice it.

I have removed many drum weights to make clearance for wheels, and also have seen many that had just fallen off. without LOOKING at them, we didn't know.

its a non issue.
