Scag Tiger Cub Riding Lawn Tractors



December 6, 2004
Scag Power Equipment is recalling about 16,000 Tiger Cub Lawn Tractors. Fuel can leak out of the carburetor, posing a risk of fire and burn injuries.

PhotoScag is aware of 20 incidents, all of which involved fires and damage to tractors. Two consumers received minor burn injuries to their hands as a result of trying to put out the fires.

The recalled zero-turn-radius riding lawn tractors are “Cat’s Eye Gold” with black trim, and have a vinyl seat. The body of the tractor has “Scag Tiger Cub” written in red on the side and front of the tractor. The following model and serial numbers can be found under the seat, next to the hydraulic pump on the right hand side.
