So I was installing my mower deck, brake pedal was in the lock position and the tractor was running. I was moving the hydrostatic up and down and then the tractor shut off. I found that I blew the fuse that goes from ignition switch to the starter solenoid. The last time I had an issue with this my headlight was lying on the exhaust shield, the tractor would run but when I would move the key back to lights it would blow the fuse. This is not what is happening now, the tractor will start for a few seconds, the fuse will be blown and the black side of the wire going to the ignition switch will be very hot.
I cannot find any wire that is grounding out anywhere, I tested the ignition switch and thought it was bad but the new switch is doing the same thing.
I left the key and run without a fuse and used my power probe to engage the solenoid which started the tractor but it would die after about 5 seconds.
I'm hoping someone has an idea of what is going on.
