    you arent trying hard enough

    you using stick or mig?

    give it a good blast with compressed air then just lay into it.

    if stick, use thic rods and wind up the power

    if mig, wind up the power

    you want to stick the gears to each other good, then fill up the entire hole with weld.

    good luck!

    basically, but make sure you get the gears welded together first, otherwise it will just break again.

    hows your welding? you might be going blind, but just position the nozzle and give it heaps!

    You're not trying hard enough. It works if you get everything in there nice and melted together.
