In addition to dust (chaf), and electrical shorts, one thing that causes tractor fires in the newer High horsepower tractors is not making sure the parking brake is released all the way. once the brakes get hot enough to kindle, there is enough hydraulic hoses, fuel spills etc to cause a major fire. I have seen many combines catch fire from wiped out bearings getting hot. As has been mentioned several times in this thread, keeping machinery clean and well maintained reduces the odds of having a fire.
