Yesterday (Sunday) I went to the other farm to grind feed. I have the grinder here and the corn I was going to use is in wagons there. So I get up there go to start the MF265 and it's dead. Funny the battery must have went bad. I get the jumper cables out and still dead. That's weird. So after making sure it's in neutral several times I jump the solenoid and it starts but now I get sprayed with antifreeze. The hood is off for other issues so can see there's hole in the upper radiator hose, funny it's a burn hole! After more investigating the wires by the starter had shorted, started a fire which ran across the top of the engine to the hose and went out. WOW the fuel tank is RIGHT above the engine, the tractor is in a shed with a barn of hay not too far away. Could have been a disaster. My uncle comes out and said he smelled something last week but thought it was a neighbor burning trash. This thing hadn't been ran for several weeks and happens to have a short? I disconnected the battery and have a hose on order. Then I'll have to do some rewiring. Lucky the fire was small and didn't get the fuel tank that would have got to the shed and then the barns.

An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
