Unbelievable! Glad you're fine. Good luck with the repairs. Let us know what the cause was as soon as you get any word...

Sedge,

A most curious occurance, especially with a diesel /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sure hope you get to the bottom of the root cause so we can all have a better heads up. I've run my Deutz 45hp steady for many hours at a time and, although it gets hot, I've had no indication of overheating problems.

I'll more closely inspect regularly based upon your unfortunate mishap. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Wishing you a quick and painless (no expense to you) return to full PT function and enjoyment!

Been away for awhile...Sorry about your misfortune...I'm so glad this was a diesel...with gasoline on board, one might not have been as lucky /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
If I were PT, I'd be very curious about the root cause.

Best wishes on the resolution...

Yeah agreed! I've had 2 "lucky" experiences with gasoline in this life, and that's quite enough thank you. Give me a diesel any day.

Sorry for your trouble. Seems to me that with this incident, PT has an "opportunity". I think we're all interested to see if they take advantage of it or not. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Best

Glad nobody got hurt.

Looks like it might have been electrical fire??

<font color="red"> As a precaution I stuffed an old towel in around the alternator and electrical connectors first to keep the deluge off those sensitive bits.
