Probably never knew it was abrading slowly against the frame, but good to be on the lookout for same. My 4630 ford-nh tractor has a similar conflict with the positive cable to the battery and the hood reinforcing that the hinge is attached to. The flange ends of the cross member does not have enough clearance between the flange end and the cable, it will wear through and that means a fire at some point. I put a shoe insole cushion over the cable and you can see the imprint. I leave the hood open when in the garage, but the cushion seems to do the job, poor design and it is inherent to these tractors, really surprised they never changed the design.
Years ago, when I was operating a D8K on a road project in NJ, the dealer came out for a recall and the D8K model production had ended for quite a while, think the next serious was the D8N, high track. The recall was for the hydraulic lines that supplied fluid to the blade tilt cylinder and I think the recall applied to other models, as they changed one out on a D5 of the same era. As I understand it, it was because the line was prone to failure or something and the associated leak/spray could ignite somehow. That would not be so nice on an O.R.P.S tractor or any tractor for that matter.
Good to hear it just made a mess of things, nothing worse from it.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
