If the seat cushion had the plywood base breaking up or was replaced by a non JD cushion with no plywood under the metal seat springs,the springs can contact live battery posts. Nearly 1000 amps shorted through the metal seat springs makes for red hot springs and smoldering seat padding. Been there,done that,lucky the battery was not gassing enough to have an explosive mix present.:-0 I have always thought that the old Case tractors(like a DC)with the battery mounted at chin level right in front of the driver was a bad idea.
