    Happy ending

    Manic, she all looks pretty good. Your lucky that the mig wire is reasonably soft so did not damage any gear facing. If welding spatter falls onto a surface that it cant adhere to ( metal coated in oil or grease ) it often runs around till it cools hence the semi rounded shape. It's an old trick if welding in an area that spatter could be a problem to coat the surrounding material in grease. Glad she looks ok.
    Regards Chris.

    Hi Manic , looking at the pics of the inside of your diff housing you got to scratch your head , and wonder how any one would go to the trouble of removing the diff , doing the welding repair, then leaving bits of mig wire, and slag and spatter inside after there work . As you say the diff looks to be OK. If not sure pop it into any half decent workshop , to get the once over , once happy make sure it's nice and clean , and it should be fine good luck ..jimr1..

    Heck, I have worked in mechanical workshops for many years and thought I had seen everything.
    Never came across welding wire inside a diff ever mate.
    I once had to remove and clean out 150 mashed up banana skins though. Lol Thats is a true story.

    Between the plug magnet and the pan I count nine wire ends...
    I reckon I could run a MIG bead from here to Andromeda and not create nine 3cm dead ends?
    Perhaps old mates pliers were broken? crazy

    I'm guessing someone welded up that hole in the diff pan from the outside, with the diff in place. Some wire shot through the hole as they were trying to fill it in.
