I generally leave out everything except the axle gears, essentially making  
it a spool. I put a good bevel on the gears to allow a good surface  for the 
weld beads & wedge them tight in the housing so they stay concentric  with the 
axle centerline during welding. Pre heat & proper cooling will  generally keep 
things from getting distorted &/or cracked. The TR housing is  pretty stout 
but the spit housing still sometimes warps.
