I did removed lot of weight on the shaft by grinding the inside and after completed with retaining plate I still to be remove some material.
I weight the shaft i made before with both side splines with planet cage and the Durango shaft and came up at 6.5 pounds but I have to add those 6 gears and shaft less and holding plate more metal to be remove again, I guessing it will weight about 2 pounds more.

Paul I need the outside diameter of the Tracy casting and bolts holes circle and size, I found a pce of
8"dia by 8" long 6160 alum bar and I want to know if it will fit with Tracy hole and outsid dia pattern before I buy it.

Nice grinding trick.

The tricky parts of mechanical design are always getting the weight and cost down.
