Many years ago I installed a front differential ring gear that had been repaired by a superb welder.
If i remember correctly it was a Trojan or Michigan or some such with about a four yard bucket.
The machine had been apart for a couple years and they could not find a replacement gear.
The tooth had been found and it had (What i imagine somewhat o a point or root)
The tooth was still in good shape and the ring gear had only a split.
Well a welder had repaired it, and i am sure it was tig welded and die ground.
I didn't talk to the welder or meet him but it was a Beautiful unbelieveble repair.
I rounded up the parts and assembled it,installed the axles and took it out and worked it hard.
When i left i was still taking a Good beating!
