[Fot] Fwd: Broken Diffs

You don't even need the differential gears in the unit once the axle gears are welded to the carrier, and you sure don't want lash in anything except the R&P gear.There are numerous ways to do it but I strip & clean all, ditch the shaft, shims and diff gears, then grind out 2 sides of the gears and grind the carrier back a bit so a good bead can be layed down on either side where you can get to it, wedge the gears tight against the carrier, and weld.Pre-heating and slow cooling reduces the risk of cracks but I always crack check and check for runout after welding.I'll add that this is very "operator sensitive", ie the weldor needs to know what he's doing.

 when I have welded up mine I would always completely disassemble the side and spider gears, weld in some teeth to limit turning to a very small amount and back together - easy to clean any spatter off - allows a small bit of play - only issue is if one of the gears explodes, haven't had one do so yet, but like anything in racing, anything can happen

 I've never seen a good welding job on a diff.  Lots of bublegum weld and spatter.  If something breaks loose, you'll be sorry.

Lincoln locker refers to the brand of welder used to create a welded diff. I have a Miller and a Hobart diff.

"Lincoln Locker" and "Detroit Locker"  synonymous?  I was told mine were "Detroit Lockers", but I had a owner's manual that was called "NO SPIN"
