"I have a friend" who was mowing through chest high grass yesterday, began smelling smoke and thought maybe old stalks were wrapped around the cutter or something, then saw smoke and a few small flames coming from the engine compartment down by my..I mean his left foot. Was mowing through a back pasture with no water nearby, fire extinguisher, or anything. Jumped out and took my shirt off, shoved it down into the compartment and smothered the small flames. Looked like old grass or a small rats nest had caught fire back there. Put it out and looks like it melted a little of the out covering of some of the wires, but everything still works. Another newbie mistake--this morning bought two small fire extinguishers for both the tractor and the ATV
