Re: 100+ Year Old Steam Boiler
@Mad Dog_2
I think your right. I don't think I ever replaced one that was replaced because it leaked. We used to take a hammer and bust the asbestos off of them. Then slide the top section off and hope it didn't smash the cellar floor, or the oil line lol. I think we got smart and brought a couple of old car tires and tried to land them on those. How they ever lifted the top section on those to assemble them I would like to know. I remember one top section it took 4 of us to get it up the stairs,
