8 3/4 goes boom

My 8 3/4 broke on the second pass my 408 hooked, one 1.38 60' then one boom. 3260# 69 Dart. The case flexes and the pinion gear tries to climb the ring gear. Richmond gears btw.

I fixed it, then ordered a new S-60 directly from strange, then sold the 8 3/4 to recoup some of the $$$.

I lucked out, my 727 wasn't hurt but I had to pull and take it apart to find out.

Spend the money on something stronger now and save your self some headaches down the road. My$.02.
