Was having lots of problems with my disco D30 axel, vac.motor, lines ect. So I shimmed the fork over to lock it in full time. This worked fine for awhile. The other day something snapped, and when I took it apart to see, a peice of the fork body had broke.(where the shaft goes through)
I would like to weld the collar to the axel halves and do away with the shift motor. Hence a one piece axel.
I don't have the money to buy a solid axel and seal, and need to get back up and running asap.
If I take the shift fork out, will there be enough support with the halves welded up? Will welding cause the axel to go brittle? What if I just tacked it? Strong enough for low speeds?
Sure need help before I do something stupid!
