Do a search on "John Deere combine fires". My brother investigated a John Deere 9560 that burned to the ground. That one was caused by overheating of chaff that wound around a shaft enclosed in a tube. Overheating was caused by friction and enhanced by the normal heat already present. Combines are notorious generators of dust and chaff providing a good source of kindling. Once enough heat shows up to ignite it the rest is history. Plastic panels, corn, 100+ gallons of fuel, rubber tires.
