temporary lock.

put "silly putty" in the diff. it will be *mostly* as effective as other methods but will be removable.


to lock it forever put JB weld or similar in the diff... it will be locked solid with no slip... but it will be that way forever.


clean the oil out of the diff and fill it with either compound and it will work.

I hope you are not saying that your TXT can articulate 20", that is near impossible (if it is not 20" wide)...

you can also use chunks of rubber band if its a bevel gear style diff. Planetary gears are hard to lock.

Use silicon diff lock oil. They are available from 1000wt to 120 000wt.
