JoeM 7,873 #1 Posted November 30, 2017 My neighbor was cutting up sycamore leafs when some of the leafs either go into the muffler, drive belt or clogged the deck making friction.

No one got hurt. 2 1 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JC 1965 1,530 #7 Posted December 1, 2017 WOW !! That's a scary site. I cut grass with a 312-8 and after I installed an electric fuel pump on it, I mounted a small fire extinguisher on the fender. Hope I never need it but you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
