Question about welded rear diff

[orangefj45]

Yup. That's it.

Bump.

Anyone else ever seen or welded spiders this way?

Thanks.

That was the way they did it in the 4 spider gear setup in the link I posted earlier in the thread. Might want to check the gear meshing with only 2 spiders gears. That pattern looks like it may not be right for a cruiser diff. Google search shows most leave an extra tooth unwelded when doing this. Overall works like a mini spool

Yeah, it looks like you just want to weld the two side gears so the two spider gears can mesh all the way in. I guess you could weld the other two to maybe make it stronger but you have to make sure they can still mesh all the way together with the side gears. I plan on doing this as I destroyed something in my Aussie locked rear diff but I haven't opened it up yet.

Way to resurrect an old thread.

Meh, I'll just have my buddy weld them like the pick. Looks like it would work just fine. He agrees that it should work. I have extra gears anyway if we mess them up.
