I think I stripped the splines on the welded transaxle diff on my buggy
I got it HOT! added 3/8" plate and burned it in with a mig real good. I doubt it would ever break
But if I'm right the splines stripped from the side gears - due to the heat?
They are 35spline side gears but only like 1.15" diameter
Heard of that happening in welded diffs before?
think it'd be better to just weld the 4 corners and call it good?
I do now have an arc welder with some stainless rod if I have to redo it. - last one was slightly warped
