Lost drive and busted diffs!
Wanderer:
Have a look here Jake,

The pins are an integral part of the diff assembly. Mine parted company and went in the crown and pinion which then spat them out of the back of the diff. One at a time as I lost drive initially but got it back again. Then it went a second time.
With the hole in our front diff and then losing drive on the rear I'd think something else has let go as well. Centre diff or the rear diff.
Normally you'll get drive again with one diff having failed. Although it's not advisable to do much running in case the broken parts jam the damaged diff up completely.
Removing the prop and half shafts would make it safeish to drive.

A very useful tip - When welding the diff hole up - do it from the inside , not the outside. easier to repair/ clean and see.
and keep the amps down as diff pans are very thin - otherwise you 'll do what a mate done a blew a hole in the pan the size of a 2p piece when welding up a pin hole!

Also if you can try braising rather than mig/ark
Xtremeteam:
from the sound of it the front diff has jumped ship,when you weld it do it on the outside & fit a bit o flat bar bent round to give a bit more protection,
the back could be a shaft which takes all of 10 min to check by pullin the shafts if its not them could be the diff but as it hasnt made itself known it may be something in the Tbox,,
you have tried driving it with the difflock in eh jake??
