Sorry, have to use this forum to seek help on our tractors.
Recently one of our tractors, those used to tow cargo/baggage, had a fire scare when smoke was emitted from the engine compartment.

According to our service contractor who attended to the tractor, he said the smoke had come from a burnt earth wire from the battery to the starter. He deduced that it was due to over-cranking of the engine. Is this correct?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
