Diesel is named after Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel, a German inventor born in 1858, and most famous for his invention of the Diesel engine.

Can a crank shaft pulley be welded to the engine?

That is a really bad idea, firstly the pulley and crankshaft are two different metals so the weld wont hold anyways ( pulleys are cast ) then there is a very slim chance that it will be perfectly centered when you are done, then theres warpage from the heat, and dont forget that once its welded it wont come off again.. I suggest if you have stripped the bolts that hold it on that you drill and retap the threads to a slightly larger size and use appropriate size and grade bolts, the next step would have to be replacing the crankshaft and remember when putting pulleys on never use a steel hammer.
