ohh ok so i must weld the gears with each other, then turn the wheels to weld it all around? sorry if i ask too much but i have never done this lol
i think im gonna weld the gears between themselves and turn the wheels to weld it all around, but i think im not gonna weld it to the carrier

ill see if i can get this done for next week, wish me luck! :icon_welder:
Don't set the RSH TRUCK on fire......... that'd suck, you'd no-longer be the only person on your island that can afford to own a FORD!!!

Frank

Yeah...... weld it, throw it in neutral, turn the wheels, repeat......

You should weld it to the carrier just like in the pic above. This actually strengthens the carrier if done right. Just be sure to leave the cross shaft loose so you can get to the c-clips.

yea man. go for it i see you are on the farm most of the time so it should be awesome. if you take the carrier out i belive you will need new crush sleeves and that stuff like shims. but not positive. but if you weld both sides of the actual spider gears and spin the carrier and weld the otherside it will be strong np. just make the welds penetrate

are you a mad man? diesel is oil based.... it will stick worse than gasoline or even alcohol would!!!

Tell you an old trick from cleaning a muzzle-loader..........
boiling hot water and dish soap. then rinse thoroughly with more.......... boiling hot water.

We use steam cleaners on the farm for our oil bathed drive chains when they get contaminated with water (the hot water evaporates, better than cold and doesn't fill the resovoir with diesel or other powerfull detergents that strip lubrication)

in a muzzleloader... you use boiling water on like a stove.... use rag and ramrod, to plunge water through it, get all the crap out (wearing gloves) and you can literally see the water evaporate off the metal....... then you lightly coat it in oil and it never rusts.

It's an idea................

Trust frank on this one. We use it for our m-16 and 50 cal barrels in the army worked like a charm!
