Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160923-91FB9-2147413787. Matched catalog product: Cub Cadet LTX1045 - I3WX91AT056. Source model text: LTX1045. Incident: On 9/22/16 I was mowing my lawn on my Cub Cadet LTX1045. I parked it about 10 feet from my house and came inside. I got a phone call from my neighbor who told me to come outside because my tractor was on fire. When I got outside, the fire was about eight feet high and was fed by the gasoline. I melted the siding on my house to a height of about fifteen feet. The LTX1045 is a 2011 model and I see other mowers of MTD manufacture have had a gas leak problem.
