I had one crack on bottom left corner.  Based on an idea I saw kicked around on here, I ground and welded that crack and put 1/4" steel 1-1/2"x8" diagonally spanning corner as the theory was that it would brace how the end plate expands and contracts.  Right, wrong or otherwise, I thought it was worth my time and some 6011's.

Picture is before I put gusset across corner(s). Sorry forgot to take any and it's too hot for pic now. So far it's not leaking... knock on wood.

Boiler is Ridgewood bought in November 2014.
