I do some volunteer work at a city owned farm. We have a 199? New Holland 5640 diesel. While mowing recently, smoke started coming out of the air box, when we opened it, it was on FIRE. We put the fire out. When we got the filter out, we found nothing left but the metal pieces. All the filter element and plastic had burned away. The New Holland dealer had never seen this before either. After we cleaned everything up and found no other damage, we replaced the filter with a new one from the dealer. It now has less than 12 hours on it. We pulled it out and found it is covered in black soot. The glue has oozed and burned also. What in the world is making it so hot? Stuck intake valve? Exhaust restriction? We KNOW we had someone try to sabotage the tractor recently and loosened all the wheel lugs. Fortunately no one was hurt. Could they have doen something that would cause this to happen as well?
