AggieLR 09-09-2002, 08:51 PM think it'll work, should i weld just spider gears, or to the case also, and should i use filler metal instead of just weldin? http://tamor.org/forum/upload/showthread.php?s=&threadid=603 Wilson 09-09-2002, 09:00 PM Clean everything really well with brake parts cleaner, weld it really hot, then dunk it in a bucket of old gear oil. This way it will harden the weld. I've also seen it done where it was just air cooled. I don't see any reason to take a chance and not weld the gears to the carrier, if done right, the carrier is what will break, not the gears ( so no need to worry about reusing the carrier. You have the right idea, welding the gears and then filling in a couple teeth, this way if the welds on your gears fail they have no where to turn to anyways.
