I planned on bush hogging a bunch of dog fennel today. Probably about 60 acres. Things are rolling right along and the engine started smoking. I figured it was just debris (those small fennel flowers) gettin on the block and heating up. I kept cleaning it all off and out from the radiator screen. The smoke got worse and I checked everything out but couldn't see anything that was a problem. Then the smoke got bad and I went over To the truck just in case I needed tools or to put it on the trailer quick like. Pulled the side panels and there's a fire under there. The wiring harness was burning up. Killed the engine(diesel) by pulling the choke lever. The key wouldn't shut it off. Blew the fire out. Took some doing but I jumped the starter to at least get it back on the trailer to get it home. Now I get to rewire most of it. At least the charging and starting circuits.
I just bought the thing about 2 months ago. Used, but still cost a small fortune. Dammit
