Was going to mow yard and after filling fuel checking oil and such I attempted to start my mower which it did after about 10 seconds. Put it in reverse and it died almost immediately. So I then tried to start it again. Didn't start and almost sounded like battery was low (new battery this year). I tried to start again then noticed smoke coming from between my legs. Craftsman LT1000 battery under the seat. The black wire going the the negative post had gotten so hot it melted the post down to where the bolt didn't go through the hole in post...it was just resting on top of melted post. What would cause this to happen?
