Photo of the tranny where the piece is busted out. Notice that the tranny is upside down here. photo 1.jpg

This is the doner tranny with the part mostly cut out with a 4 inch slitting grinder. photo 2.jpg

We mostly used the 4 inch slitting wheel to cut but also used a 12 inch. A 6 or 7 inch would have helped but we didnt have any wheels. photo 3.jpg

More cutting. photo 4.jpg

We were hoping to use the rear block plate for alignment but it was too flimsy. photo 5.jpg

So we had a spare block and cast iron pan and used that to align things. Everything is still upside down. photo 7.jpg

Tacking it in. Kenny is the master. photo 8.jpg

We Veed it out good after tacking it in. Used the scaler a lot to peen the weld as we went. photo 9.jpg

Sure, I'll spell you for a bit photo 10.jpg

Got it turned back upright and welding from the inside. photo 11.jpg

And more scaling. photo 12.jpg
