I'll for sure use my generator. I guess I could just weld a patch over the crack. It's not leaking yet so I can patch it good and I might be good for a while .

I would still drill and fix crack just to be safe. I know I said it shouldn't crack past weld on firebox but better to be safe than sorry

[automan77]

Where were you talking about me drilling?

[ridgeman]

Bottom of crack so it doesn't continue to crack any farther. Kinda like a windshield

[automan77]

Ok I see what your saying now.

[automan77]

I just noticed I have the cracks  on all four corners of the door opening.  real nice

[ridgeman]

Its really not to bad of fix. Lucky mine only cracked on bottom. Tin comes off pretty easy and then you can see everything good. At least the burning season is over. How close to nw ohio are you? If your close I'd be willing to help you out

I'm 50 miles north of Detriot. A little to far lol.  Do I need  to take the tin off. It's not leaking yet.

by chance ... you Michigan guys work at Transform ??

[automan77]

work for Chrysler  (FCA)

[ridgeman]

Depends if you can see end of cracks from inside firebox to drill your holes

[automan77]

Might be better to weld both sides.

Did Ridgewood ever get back with you?

[automan77]

The owner never bothered  to reply so i called and talked to one of his guys there and he told me if he don't reply back that means he's not gonna do anything.  he's a real  piece of crap

Well, I think were all on our own. My 7500 has not leaked, has anybody had any sign of leakage? My fear is to get in the heart of a Michigan winter and have a problem.
