Something glued on an E-15 near the
toaster. No. The PO may have run into an issue where the
resister wire broke and it sprung free, or the top of the toaster
holder may have bent and touched the grill...If there is another
source to ground it probably make a BIG spark and melted wires
somewhere else. The problem with gluing something there is...it's
a toaster (Or acts like one), and will get mighty hot. If the
glue wasn't designed to take that heat it could fail...or worse
catch on fire. Same goes for the material they glued in place.
Of course if they glued asbestos in there....well, then there are
other issues, but fire isn't one.
If it were mine I would take the toaster off of the wire mesh holder and remove moth from the tractor. Inspect the resister wife and make sure it isn't cracked, or broken. Replace it if it is. wear a respirator and remove the fiber stuff...Or spray over it with a high temp engine paint. Make sure the part that holds the charger dial and toaster is complete(Sometimes the bottom gets rotted off and could bend) Fix it if it is too short. Or put in an electronic controller ... no toaster. Brian On 4/20/2013 9:31 AM, Ron and Dianes E-mail wrote:
