Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): John Deere 747 (zero turn) 06 model, blown fuses, continuity tester


Question
In the past few years, the main fuse (30amp) under the seat would occasionally blow. Well just today (10/5) this fuse blew repeatedly (3 times) so I towed the machine back into my shop. I did a physical inspection which unfortunately yielded nothing out of the ordinary.

Is there a bulletin out on this problem? Any suggestions on what maybe causing the blown fuses? The wiring all looks tight and not chaffed at all. Another thing,the fuses seem to fail only after the machine has been running for a half hour or so. This may or may not be relevant, regardless this one has me stumped.

Any ideas on where to start?

Thanks for your time and interest on this problem

Answer
I am unaware of any bulletins,  you need to start tracing the wires from the seat throughout the circuit, sounds like you may have a bare wire somewhere...

Take a continuity tester and start checking each wire

I know your at wits end trying to find this problem, but when you do find it, AND you WILL FIND it you will have a sense of accomplishment like never before!
