Old, you are right, Many years ago I was working on a JD 4020. Don't remember exactly what it was I was working on, but I needed to tip the front of the cab up to access something below it. The owner of the tractor had installed his own radio, and had not included a fuse in the wire that powered the radio, it was direct from the battery to the radio. When I finished, and went to let the cab back down, that hot wire got pinched. I didn't know you could get so much flame and smoke from the insulation of a #12 wire, and when the smoke cleared just a bit I could see that the wire was still glowing red hot. All of this was happening at the same time as I was frantically hunting my wire cutters. The tractor did not burn, I made up a new wire with a fuse this time, and never told the customer.
