I have a Ford Naa that I originally
bought cheap for the Sherman
transmission in it. A neighbors son took
an interest in it and got it running, it
had a break in the bottom of the rear
end casting from what likely was a ring
gear bolt punching thru years ago, it
was welded from the outside and then
epoxied, yet still leaks. We took off
the axle trumpet all is good inside now
so want to weld it up good. I'm a
experienced welder but have never welded
any of these housings so just curious if
anyone knows what type material they are
and any recommendations other than usual
preheat etc. I have seem many broke much
worse and welded over the years so
confident it can be done just looking
for any tips or experience before I weld
it up
