I guess it's time to give up on my lawn tractor

[bobc455]

Driving vehicles (or lawnmowers) which were on fire at one point is cool and manly. Fix it and keep going!

I once had an Aries K which kept catching on fire. The underside of the hood had insulation which was oil-saturated, and would catch on fire after long highway drives. Or sometimes it would just smoke a lot. Good times!

(For the record, however, I would advise a bit more sensible approach and completely repair everything on the mower. The still-catches-on-fire thing is not as cool as the formerly-on-fire thing.)
