Threshing machines were prone to catching fire - it looks as though this one did! Dry, overheated bearings surrounded by chaff are a recipe for spontaneous combustion. Only a couple of years ago, I encountered a modern tractor on fire from the same cause. Fortunately, I carry an extinguisher in my car, and no significant damage resulted.

When I (briefly) worked on a farm, the general rule of thumb was if it's a tractor, try and drive it to somewhere less flammable than a field full of crops and bail. If it was the combine then you get your skinny butt back to the yard as fast as humanly possible whilst screaming over the radio "Incoming, get the hoses ready!". Both happened while I was there, the combine was worth significantly more than a tractor hence the daring dash back lol 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a combine catch fire several years ago. The resulting fire burnt thousands of acres of land. The neighbors were not happy. The fire made national news in the U.S. I won't give the name or location of the fire however, as it was not a happy time.

I recall a summer visit to the Kent & East Sussex many years ago. Somewhere, packed away, I have a photo taken from the train of a burnt-out fire engine in what had been a wheat field. Suspect the wind changed and engulfed the fire appliance? 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I can't see anything Binns Road in this lot) The seller, very helpfully, goes on to tell us that '' this item may, or may not, have the following faults.......'' He also tells us that he understands'' the need for a good and informed description'' Words fail me. Back to reality and the cans of Hobgoblin IPA and the Asda Firewater (Ok I admit that I might part with a couple of quid for what looks to be bits of an old Trix overall roof station if I were at a swapmeet) Regards, Rich.

It's time for humble pie. I most humbly retract all them times I called my tea chests full of Dublo 3 rail track worthless junk. The beloved Margaret caught me with an astonished look on my face, marched over to look at what had caught my attention, and is now using language I ain't heard her use in a long while. The dreaded ''Gerremsold'' word if you please!! I have only managed to restore harmony by agreeing to say that if, by any chance, the disappointed under bidders are reading this then please feel to PM me.

I've found that it's more relaxing to have controversial packages delivered to a local click'n'collect point ( where available)!
