hi gang, the shop owner where i work has been asked to repair an old (1870's)steam driven tractor with a crack in the boiler firebox. the fire box sits inside a larger box. the space between the two is filled with water during normal boiler operation.the firebox is of riveted construction. what would be the best way to repair the cracks? mig or tig? should the space between be filled with argon? i am not sure of the metal thickness. any input would be appreciated cj
