For the most part. I would welded a series of passes covering the whole plate and essentially doing a "2 over" pass. Just for extra insurance.

He should have welded the gears to the carrier also all the stress is going to be on the pin now an when that goes its all going to blow up carrier and all of he welds the gears to the carrier it will make it stronger cause then the whole thing it talking the force instead a ³/⁴ rod

We welded my ford rear and it still works fine. 44 inch Mudders both turn and never a problem. Saved me from buying a locker. Why not. My family has had over 1000 HP engines for these applications and the rear end works just fine. Never a problem when done properly. Since the 1970s dad used to do this

Thank you so much. The no bullshit guide I wanted 👍🏻 The plates are definitely the way to it.

Excellent example to spool diff. Looked at another of videos of this topic. I think yours was the best example. Liked the plate idea. Good work. Thanks

Perfect video with important details I could see me forgetting or doing wrong. Good to know.

Well done, great video. Always thought the process wasnt reliable, so i went with a locker instead. I turn 35" mud tires with some h.p. behind it. But if I get a chance, I'd like to try your method. Looks very promising. Once again, great video.

Excellent explanation and detail. That's the cutest diff I've ever seen, btw lol.

Thanks man I knew it needed to be hot before welding but I didn't know it had to be that hot so thanks. 350 degrees and balls out on the welder. Good video thanks.

Great video spent ages looking for a video on this and most just waffled on about other stuff and didn't even show or explain what they're doing. Great stuff 👍

211 amps is about 28 volts which i use for vertical up welding with a weave pattern which i find would be still abit cold. I'd recommend at least 30 volts for better fusion with at least a 60 degree preheat. I would also after welding, wrap it up in a fire blanket to slow the cooling down as fast cooling could cause cracking due to weld and parent metals becoming brittle. If your method works, so be it.

Just some advice I would definitely cover up the bearings as well from slag👍🏻

A lot of great information.

well done thanks for this ❤

Do you have some sort of diagram of like what each and every single parts are so we know exactly what to weld and what not to weld?

cool thanks for the vid bro now ima weld my diff

Great vid, thanks!

This is a badass channel....

I was getting stuck on wet grass I Lincoln locked I always plate the gears before Lincoln locking I've never had one break.

Thank you!

I cut a thin sheet of steel that looks like a C ... it covers the ring gear when welding that side. Anti splatter spray it also. This is how i do it while still in the axle house.

im doing a 10 bolts gm today with the aurburn diff. the gear are shot and the pin is bent into a s that is why im doing it

Great Vid!

Funny cause i wanted to weld my FC Rx7, if thats the cause then this should be very useful. Thanks

Dude your welds are nicee😌

great video boss! GG

What about the bearings and ring gear serfice should it be covered.

What should I do if after welding the diff using plates the car shakes after 60mph?

What is your method for heating up that differential?

How did you put your keys in that hold your axles in with that pate there

So I have a question. If you put those plates to help strengthen everything how do you secure or ever pull your axles out again? No access to the c clips. At least in my instance I wouldn't be able to put plates. I don't know bout that diff you welded how those axle shafts lock in......

so with fwd, just tack nuts too spider gears? and just filler up with weld..?

Hopefully those bearings didn’t get splatter on them or get replaced. Good video

Great video

Do you not need to put the c clip back in? Or does that diff not use one?

I have a 93 ford ranger with limited slip can it be lock welded and could a stick be used.

Unfortunately if the diff breaks with that plate in there it will DESTROY the housing for the diff. Just happened to me. The housing for the diff can cost as much as the diff itself. Just a forewarning

The video is excellent however the proper way to weld the gears is with arc welding using a more powerful three-phase current. Also Since you are heating up de diff and all that work is best to press out the old side bearings and replaced with new ones

@jstavene

2 жыл бұрын

the comments, the customer put new bearings, new ring and pinion, and 3 phase,,,is not more powerful, (its about welder and settings and I do think arc is better also, but not everyone runs a Sa200 or such ) I think a decent 220 mig would do it if they took their time and preheated good too bad was not dissassembed and ground a bit for prep (but who takes that much time and care?)

Do you weld diffs for people and how much?

how do you get the c clips in/out

So what makes both axles spin if they're not connected together in the center and the ring gear is only connected to one side?

@middlesiderrider

Жыл бұрын

The small gears on the sides have splines in the center of them, and the axles have splines that fit into them.

A dumb question I know, but where does the drive haft connect to the diff once it’s welded ? Is there a larger outer gear ?

@wookie9581

3 жыл бұрын

There is a large ring gear that attaches on the left of the carrier he is welding. The drive shaft would attach to the pinion gear with a yoke the pinion turns the large ring gear.

would .030 070s mig wire on a Lincoln 180amp welder and a preheated to say 400degrees Fahrenheit with a torch differential still in the carrier with say playdoh on the main ring and pinion welded at its max setting on 220v and plated on each side be sufficient to weld a differential like that?

@MorFabIndustries

Absolutely. It should be plenty. Just get it nice and hot on the preheat

How much would this cost to get done?

Those bearings could possibly be toasted also. Good practice is too replace them or remove them so you do get too much heat into them. You might have a strong welded diff but it will be noisey 💁‍♂️
