Im putting a 2.6 pc on my m7 and am planning on gearing it down to 55/65 and putting new bearings and seals in while I have it apart just wondering if one is better than the other?

They are replaced by a new part number and aren't welded anymore.

The BDX gears that I bought had cutouts in the middle of the gears so they are a bit lighter than the Cat oem versions.

Actually they assemble them right there in Thief river. BDX doesnt make it for them. Team makes the cases for them.
