Was plowing this afternoon, with a Farmall 200. Suddenly noticed sparks around the starter pull rod where it goes through the tab on the headlight mounting rod on the steering post. Shut it down, and struggled to disconnect the battery - difficult with only a claw hammer and a 10" Crescent wrench. Had sparks flying!, Anyway, got it disconnected - almost destroyed the battey, the starter rod will never be the same again. It was red hot before it was over. Could've been a catastrophic fire. I did get some third degree burns, on the hands, will have to replace the battery, starter switch, battey cable, and starter rod. But, I came out pretty lucky, considering. I have inspected the starter switch and all the other parts, and I can't for the life of me find out what shorted. The starter rod, and the rocker on the starter switch were hot, along with the hinge pin on the switch. Anyone else have this happen? Any idea what shorted out? MAYBE A GOOD TIME TO LOOK OVER YOUR TRACTOR IN THIS AREA!
