Thought about your problem a bit last night and had some ideas. The easiest way to attach that lid with your equipment would be to drill a series of hole around the flange and spot weld it. Your welder with those small rods would do that fairly well. You could then seal it several ways depending on what you are doing. You could solder it, or use silicone or wax, or auto parts stores sell a rubberized paint for sealing gas tanks that would probably work. If you need a welded seal then what I would do is grind or trim down the lid lip so it is just larger than the pot. That will give you a lap weld that will be much easier to work with than an edge weld and should be within the capabilities of your welder. When you do that you will have to weld in short welds randomly around the lid to prevent heat buildup and warping. You could also take the entire lip off the lid so you could weld around the inside the pot. That would give you the strongest and easiest to weld solution. If you want it sealed don't forget to put your fittings on first so the pot can vent while you weld it or you won't get a seal and if you do the pot will collapse as it cools.

The roads were general gravel, so the lugs cutting into them wasn't a problem. George would set up the thresher, s
