How to weld a rear end spider gears rear diff differential posi trac traction

[@johnwilkerson2195]

I watched my dad weld the spider gears in old Fairlane back in the mid 80s for drag racing

Thank you great video answered all my questions

[@1GooseGarage]

Thank you for watching

Can this be done to ur daily driver

[@travisrifanburg3633]

It can be done with anything that uses spider gears. But you're going to eat up tires a lot faster when you turn. The inside tire is turning slower than the outside. Every time you turn a corner you'll hear rubber burning.

How hot voltage and how fast of the wire feed do you need to weld these thick-ass gears up?

[@Timeshifter32]

Being a welder, just run it hot and slow as possible bro. Migs dont get enough credit for strength. If you do it right, you should never have a problem.

Another good video guys. Thanks

I've done this with a 220 arc welder. I'm surprised a mig is hot enough to get good penetration on high carbon steel. Good job.

ima do this to my c10, great video. one question......why did you cut the cover??!

[@bradfreitag8466]

And on a side note, if you plan to use the rear end multiple times, make sure you don't weld the pin in. If you do, and brake an axle, it's junk.

just want to point out this is only true on c clip axles

[@shawnsderbyden1032]

i would defenetly refill that rear end itll get hot quick and lock up

Shawn Deweese we haven't had an issue yet... I'm sure that may change someday... And if we get a rear end that is worth taking from car to car we will takebetter care of it... Midsize heats dont last more than 10 min here usually.

Thanks for sharing, maybe your welding line speed was too slow, cheers
