I went to use my 3054 Tuesday evening to spray, and when I walked up to it in the twilight it didn't look right, so I turned on my flashlight and what a shock, the dash, steering wheel, seat, were toast. I have a plant nursery and the crew had parked the tractor at 4:00pm and I used a different tractor to grade my driveway for 1 1/2 hours and when I parked that tractor within 20 ft. of the Kioti I didn't smell or notice anything wrong with the 3054, the plastic transmission cap even melted and poured inside. The key switch had become loose and I believe when it was parked that afternoon that the key was turned to far in the off position and the wiring shorted out, someone had suggested the glow plug coil on the dash, but I had never had the key stick in the preheat position. I am trying to order parts to fix it myself, I have posted a picture to show the damage, She will either be the PHOENIX or the MONEY PIT. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
