You just have to start checking your wiring, from the battery on. Likely there is a frayed wire contacting the body at some point.

I would also check the back of the starter switch - I know my wiring there is closer to the body than I would like.
A melt indicates a short, so somethings grounding where it shouldn't.

Yeah, as the first place the battery positive would take you is the starter switch on the floor, that's the first place you'll be checking!
I agree, lots of big, energized wires come awfully close to grounded sheet metal in the neighborhood of that starter switch....

Had a tractor melt the wiring and part of the ign switch because the starter went fubar and stayed engaged. Basically turned the the starter into a generator and backfed the wiring. 400 bucks later the tractor is all good
Since you has been doing "serious wheeling" I think you were able to get the body/frame to flex and the engine shifted at the wrong time and you grounded out.
