It's funny now, but wasn't the other day. I just moved and didn't have room for all my tractors at the new place. I gave/loaned my BEAT UP Farmall 100 to a friend. He needed another cultivator tractor for his 4 gardens anyway. He called me after his ears quit ringing. He was plowing up a garden plot when the tractor started running rough/no power. He had changed out the plugs and maybe the plug wires. When he tried to crank the tractor it "backfired through the bell housing and sat there and smoked out the bell housing holes for 10 minutes." After we talked about it for a few minutes and quit laughing, we figured that the leaky fuel bowl was the culprit. Gas dripping on the top of the bell housing had collected inside the bell housing and was set off when the starter arced. KABOOM! - He was standing next to it when it went off. big ball of fire and rattled windows. He's lucky he wasn't hurt. I'm going by there today if I get away from the office early enough to see if my tractor is still in one piece. Anybody ever had something like this happen? It'll make you wonder what else can go wrong....
