There’s nothing you can do to strengthen your remaining teeth, you might have to replace them all.
Yt16 Ford
? I have a Ford yt16 garden tractor with a 22hp Kohler courage and a 801 out back with a foot gas pedal not to mention some very aggressive tires. I was kinda showing off and I hit the gas then let off the brake and well, I sheared off 4 teeth on my input shaft and now I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening again. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Thank you for your input, I did end up getting a new gear but I couldn't, for the life of me, find an exact match. My gear had a flat shoulder on the bottom like it went inside the case, so I bought one that says it's for a 801 but it didn't have the shoulder like mine. It was about a little over an 1/8 inch thinner because it didn't have any shoulder on it, so, because the whole gear is splined, I cut some of the shoulder off my broken gear and slipped it onto the splined shaft and now it's tight and I hope it will work. Before I put it all back together I will be welding the diff.
