do you guys stick weld or mig them? awesome pic!! Stick welded. I'm not sure if I would trust the strength of a wire welder on the gears. An IMPORTANT thing to remember when welding spider gears. ONLY weld a little bit at a time. These gears can crack or shatter if overheated from welding. |

Weld everything, I weld the gears to the gears and the gears to the carrier housing itself...I make it a complete mass of molten metal so that it doesn't have the chance of breaking under load.

weld the whole center section solid, Just remember if one of your tires is weded against a car or something and cant spin you run a good chance of braking an axle when you gas it. If someone is going to make a clear axle shot on you hit your brakes if you cant get away

Im sure most of you have heard the saying, Weld one side, drink a beer, then weld the other side. I've never tryed it, cause Im not allowed to weld the read ends. lol...
