welding steel plates on the \"Cast\" part of my Dana 60?
i know i've read and been told it's not a good idea to weld onto the casting.
but i'm wanting to mount my "ladder bar" and would really like to get it close to the center. i'm thinking about welding half the mount to the axle tube right next to the housing and the other half onto the housing itself, (i'm using 3/16" steel plate)
so i know this is not ideal, but can anyone tell me there luck with this? OR WHY I SHOULDN'T DO IT
also i'm planning on using a Mig Welder, or would an Arc welder be better if i got the correct rods?
