WOW and to think the ring and pinion is the last thing I said I was worried about with my d44. Guess the gurus are right, the side gears are the failing point.
Shoulda locked it!

I should state the details. I did'nt do this. Purchased it from Stomper for the knuckle conversion for my International. A friend of his was plowing snow down a road in 4x4 and this happened. Causing the yoke to pop off in the process. It's impossible to spin the ring gear. I would've loved to been there to hear the carnage.
edit: It had drive flanges, no lock outs here. The spindle bearings and what not definitly showed that.

lol, i wonder if anyone has tried using JB weld to completely prototype something? could lead to some interesting things. a JB weld spider gear, a JB weld carrier, JB weld ring and pinion gears, JB weld prom dress...... or at least chastity belt 
Gotta say, thats a pretty intense break, i mean it punched a hole in the pumpkin?????? im impressed.
