      You are not the first to think of that . But I know the adaptor was somewhat common (the 8n is the most popular tractor model ever, and shared an engine with the model A) and i’ve never heard of issues. I’m not sure if that is because nobody talked about it though.

        You’d need to either already have the tractor on fire, or somehow have an ignition source for this to happen, but you’ve essentially made a pipe bomb.

      It isn’t very likely to connect with open flame. Tires are pretty well suited for containing air.

      In case your rig is on fire for long enough to melt through the very thick tires, that would be dangerous, yes.
