22 X 11 on a locked mst205

Im looking at some ITP Mudlites 22x11x8 for a prodject and it has a locked mst 205 Im just wondering if that would be to hard on the axle?

It might be ok if the transaxle has bearings installed, either internally or externally. Otherwise it would probably be pretty hard on the trans.

I just picked up some bearings for it

I do have another mst 205 That isnt locked wondering if that would be a better choice with them tires?

Well, how is it locked? The doc locker IMO is the "best" way, though not the easiest. Fozzy is definitely easiest, but I feel like thats hard on the gears. Maine Mud Mower filled the whole diff with molten zinc. And @Fearlessfront welded the spider gears to the shaft (the free spinning ones that share the shaft in the bull gear).

In order of strength (IMO):

1. Doc Locker
2. Solid zinc casting
3. Welding the spider gears to the pin
4. Fozzy locker

1 or 2 would be fine with those big tires, and number 3 would be ok if you're certain you got a good hot weld. But I wouldn't try it if you just fozzy locked it.

I weld the spiders to the pin and I use a stick welder for better penatration with hardedned rods

Fozzy lock works great from my experience. Less stress on the gears than welding the gears to the pin. Remember, these gears are sintered steel. In a Fozzy lock, the teeth are just stopped from rotating, where in a pin lock everything is trying to twist the gears off that pin. A lot more force is being applied that way.

im going to be gathering parts to do a Doc Loc to it

got my bearings and gonna get to dropping transaxles shortly
