Opened up the rear end and this is what i found! Talked to a buddy and he say that was popular among drag racers.....Thoughts anyone?
Why would the previous owner do this?

It's the cheap guy's version of a posi welding up the spider gears like that. Hopefully your axles aren't welded to it too.

Usually do it in demo cars, when posi not avail..short life-span posi.. it works... but not recommended for daily driver..
Somebody made a spool out of open carrier.
I would not run it on the street.

..............u can take the carrier out and put in a sure grip..............plus take out the gears and bearings ans clean the good or replace the bearings ...there would b lots of crap floating around in there...kim........
It's a 741 case...is it worth it??
They work pretty good until they break. And they almost always do.
It'll do, but a 489 case is a better bet IMO.

If it was a Harbor Freight locker, it would be broken already.

I had a 71 Ferd LTD back in '91, that I welded the Spiders in just for fun, and It was a way for a broke Georgia Boy to Try to get a 429 to hook up. I didn't do it that way I pulled out the top and bottom gears and completely seam welded the side gears to the case. Was insanely strong for what it was. I drove that car for a couple of years, absolutely abusing it as much as possible while daily driving it. That 9 inch never broke ( in fact I still have the third member in storage somewhere) the down side is i had to replace the rear tires every couple of weeks. lol David

Because miller owners are smart enough to not weld the spider gears. Lol sorry I prefer a blue machine to red.

Explain please ???
:happy1:
The smallest diameter of a 741 is EXACTLY the same as a 742 ... the STRONGEST , and a 489 , technically the weakest with the POS crush sleeve still installed ... the section of the pinion shaft were the outer pinion bearing rides and I have yet to see ANYONE say they broke a pinion there .
:happy1:
that is what we use to call a poor mans locker.oooo the things we dun is embarrassing to talk about.....Artie
