b2400 on fire!

I had a 60KW Generator that always started and ran like a swiss clock. One day I pulled it up next to the building stated it up and POOF, it caught fire. No one could ever give me a reason why.
One of the few time in my life I LOVED the insurance company.

On the plus side, with a new wiring harness the little mule starts hotter and quicker than ever. Nice job by Mordt Tractor in Troy, MO, doing the repairs. They even beat the dents (not from the fire) out of the hood before repainting and put on new decals as well as a putting on a new fuel filter when they went thru the fuel system to make sure no fire extinguisher powder got inside. Looks like new. Runs like new. Good job by a reputable dealer.

It was a challenge with the insurance company. They were quizzing me like they thought I started the fire and seemed to have trouble relating to this type of situation, in fact the adjuster admitted as much, her first tractor fire. In the end they followed through and took care of it (farm/homeowners personal property coverage).

After getting the tractor back I sat down with the five barn cats to remind them why we allow them to live in the barn . . . . .

perhaps the original cause of first fire was never fixed when parts were replaced?

There was only one fire, no second fire as of yet . . . .

Just put the tractor in the shed and saw the first chipmunk on the place. I saw what they did to a house I worked on a few years ago, hope the little pest stays away from my tractor.
