Incident: Upon finishing mowing our yard with our cub cadet mower, it backfired and the engine caught on fire. The entire mower erupted in flames within a minute or two. We were unable to extinguish the flames and the mower burned down to its frame. It is a complete loss. The lawn mower came with a three year warranty and should have been covered, however Mtd products representative requested that we file a claim with our homeowners insurance. Our deductible is too high, therefore we could not file a claim with our insurance
