[AT] Locking a differential

[Jim and Lyn Evans]

You can weld the spider gears to the side gears in the differential.  Stick
a bolt into the gear teeth to lock the gears up and weld it all into place.
That way the bolt takes the stress, not the weld.   Why would you want to do
that to a tractor?   There might be other solutions to solve the problem you
have.

Subject: [AT] Locking a differential

Is there a way to lock the differential on a CA Allis-Chalmers tractor? I
mean a permenant lock so both axles will turn all the time. I have looked at
the insides of a differential before , but didn't try to figure out a way to
lock one up. Didn't have a idea like I have an idea like I am having now at
the time.


Thanks,
