VERY IMPORTANT FOR CASE OR NEW HOLLAND COMBINES FOR FIRES . good time to check your fuel hose from tank if you run a case or new holland . last year our case was idling in yard (luckily) and it was spraying fuel on engine , manifolds and even running out of return elevator . if it would of done it in the field it would of provided us with a pic like this . the fuel line was made of the lightest cheapest hose you could find . could almost put your fingernail through it . changed fuel lines on both case combines to proper fuel line

Alittle off topic, but this spring a neighbor was seeding with a quad trac and paralink. He was turning on a headland and a hydraulic leak on one opener which shot towards the tractor. It hit the exhaust and the tractor burst into flames. He said he had his elderly uncle with him and they almost didn't make it out of the cab.
