Lost a yellow top 8820 in 82 one of the first ones made not a good machine had every update imaginable we had a 1977 7700 that could run rings around it but anyway the big girl was running an 8 row head in heavy corn when the operator radioed in and said he smelled something getting hot we thought maybe it was belts slipping next thing we heard was Oh S***! and radio went dead we raced over there and whole cab area was ablaze operator was sitting on his cooler watching the whole thing said next thing he knew was flames started coming out of the engine panel he just had time to toss his cooler and jump out when we were talking all the cab windows blew out and head dropped. Local farmer bought it from the insurance company fixed it up and it's still running today. Fire Marshall said hydraulic line burst spraying hot fluid on the manifold. Fortunately it was a still early evening and the fire department was close by they did a good job saved the head and just the front part of the machine was destroyed. A combine fire is scary we could never get the operator back in a combine again he just ran the catch buggy and semis.
