I would suggest using nickel rod when you weld, that way if you have to file or grind the weld it will be a lot easier. Even though you are running the tractor and keeping the manifold warm (which sounds like a good idea), compared to the temperatures at the point of the weld (I’m presuming here a stick electric welder) the rest of the manifold will be cold. I would recommend following standard welding procedure for cast, short welding time, a lot of peening, and let it cool back to running temp before going on. I would think that running the tractor definitely is a good idea and should shorten the time it will take to weld.

Just my 2 cents…
