[Steam-engine] Boilers / Repairs Gaar Scott Wet bottom

[Lorija799 at aol.com]

What year is the Gaar Scott you are looking at?  Most GS that big had the dry 
bottom "Universal" type boiler.  Does it have cast or fabricated wheels?  

we have a GS 22hp plow geared engine, with open bottom boiler and steel 
wheels. GS did build their own boilers.

IMHO if the Advance Straw Burner has the waterleg in the firebox, I would 
look at it REAL carefully, as the water circulator that forms the combustion 
chamber just seems to me to be deterioration wating to happen.
