Well , I dug into my gear case a little deeper. I ground down the JB Weld and found mine was welded just like the one outbdnut2 has. The weld ring is right outside where the snap ring groove is that holds everything in the gear case. So I looked in the groove with my naked eye and all I saw was 2 eroded spots. Then when I put the camera on it and jacked up the vision, It looks there are some hair line cracks in the groove. That groove looks big enough where it might retain enough water and freeze and put the cracks in. I also wonder seeing both our gear cases are welded the same way that it wasn’t a factory recommended warranty fix. Moving forward, Matt.
