Default Welding Thin Metal

I need to do the shifter repair to the transaxle I just took out of my parts tractor. I have a stick welder and an oxy acetylene torch set. Which would be best for this job? I've welded with both before but I'm worried about burning a hole in the shifter cup since it is kind of thin. I was thinking maybe a 6013 rod? I've used it before and found it really doesn't penetrate too deep which might be perfect for this job. I could use the oxy acetylene but I'm partial to the stick welder.
