If you know somebody that welds aluminum you might be able to fix it.  A better deal might be to just replace the front diff.

That is the infamous weak spot of a tracker! The best bet but not nessecarily the cheapest is to replace the aluminum housing and third with a cast housing and third from an XL-7 I believe. You can have it repared but it will happen again I imagine! They usually break under load in reverse!

Can also replace with Toyota front diff, but that will require raising the engine 3/4"
