    Welded prop to vcu. Will it work

    Cheers. The welds looked pretty good. My dad did it and he use to be a welder. I am getting the odd bang from the rear diff. The mount is totally shot and needs changed now. Tested it in the snow and it pulled easy

    Welded prop to vcu. Will it work

    My front prop and front splines on my vcu are both stripped. Suspect loose bolt then it eventually snapped. So tonight I removed the joint from the shaft. Cleaned what was left of the splines with a pencil grinder and the end of the vcu and welded them. Welder was at full power and it looks a...

    vcu questions

    Today I stripped the joint that has no splines. Cleaned it up with a grinder and pencil grinder. Torqued the welder and went for it. I'll get it fitted to the fl tomorro and see what happens
