Re: 1960 Eaton rear diff?

May have spoken too soon. I decided to mop the thicker left over fluid out of the bottom of the pumpkin and I thought I heard something so I felt around and below is what I find....what the heck is it, is the question. I think at some point this truck had some axle work done as there is a big weld along the passenger side axle tube. Hopefully it's just something that is left over. I spun the wheels and all the gears look ok and I don't hear any bad noises except the brakes are tight and scratchy.

Figure I'll run the pieces by an axle shop tomorrow and see if they have suggestions. I also believe I fixed an axle on an old cj I had once. Seems like the ring gear broke and I didn't seem to have any issues, but I certainly am not set up for anything major.
