anyone have pics of welding the drive gears to the case of a Dana 80. any ideas or tips?
 
Lay some grade 8 bolts in the gears and weld them up. With out the bolts, it will just shear the teeth that were welded. I dont have any pictures but basically you are allowing the bolt to stop the gears from meshing and just welding the stop in place.
 
put the carrier in a oven and heat up the gears then tig weld them
 
the spool is to come. i just need to weld it to get me by for a couple pulls

Tip...

Measure the space that is under the gear and make up a piece on the lathe to take up the space to keep the gear in its original spot...
 
Air locker! Its also fun to unlock them and release the air preesure when ur in line waiting to pull! LOL
