Posted by David on Tuesday, August 11, 2009:

Mowed lawn last week with my John Deere L130 and had no issues over a two hour time frame. Now this week I go to start the engine and nothing happens, battery is dead. I jumpstart the L130 and it blows the 20amp main fuse after only several minutes of running. The PTO clutch works (less than year old since I replaced) and it engages and disengages as it should up until the fuse blows and engine stops. I also tried and disconnected the PTO plug wire from the clutch itself and it still blows the fuse after only several minutes of running with clutch out of the loop. As for the PTO switch, with the engine running and parking brake on as I'm off the seat, engine will shut down if I pull up on the switch as it should since I'm not sitting on the seat safety switch. I checked all of the wiring and I can't find a short anywhere. In fact I purposely ran isulation wrap around the wiring harness I had to redo when I had to replace the PTO clutch last year do to the wires wrapping up around the clutch when it finally went. That way I thought there would be no way that the wires could wear and get shorted because I had protected them. I double checked anyway by removing the insulation to visually look but as stated, I cant see any bare or exposed wire. I really need to get this fixed on the cheap and quick as my lawn was overdue for a mowing already. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
