Weld gears to gears and gears to carrier and anywhere else in there you can weld to something else.


I feel there is a big misconception about welding as much as you possibly can. Welding is inadvertantly a heat treating process which can severely impact the strength of the components in the carrier. Welding here there and everywhere doesn't necessarily improve the strength of a welded diff.

I would say you should weld surgically, working slowly to allow heat disipation (weld, stop, weld, stop, etc). Do not quench the welds with water, as you can make them brittle. Allow them to air cool gradually.
