Can this be re-weled?!

[AB-Ke70]

hey guys, well long story short, mates next door neighbor welded my diff the other night, sure enough being so excited to finally be locked i chucked it in without checking quality of the welds. last night goin about 5-10 km around a corner, BANG! took it apart wen i got it home and the welds had broken. now im wondering for all you people on here with past experience, can this be re-welded with an ark properly this time?





the chunks that came out of my diff housing

wow nice bit of destruction there, sure it can be welder but won't be as strong. Use a better welder this time

[Rice86]

Lol is that the plate they used to weld and lock the diff with?

[AB-Ke70]

will do! was told to use a gased mig, but thinking of using an arc this time. just looks like the mig wasnt hot enough to hold. ill post up a pic a bit later with it welded back up.

Better welder. Add plates. Remove any slag.

Took me 6 months to do that to my diff haha

[AB-Ke70]

yeep. industrial steel. was sooo thick, guy said it would hold heaps. BS! thing broke in a matter of days lol.

wow!


get the mig as hot as you can and just melt the shit out of it!
you can't even see my spider gears and more, just keep pumping weld on it.

is there any damage to the CW+P?

[haveaparty]

yeah dont worry bout plates, just jack the welder up as hot as it will go and fill each spider gear hole to the brim. and use a mig, arc welders are only good for farm work

[ke_70]

arc welders are fine, but you'll get slag and spatter everywhere that has to be 100% cleaned out.

i usually stuff wet rags in the spline holes also, nothing worse than spatter in there.
