Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): engine stopped running and lost power, inline fuse, cutting blade


Question
I have a Troy-bilt tractor model 60tg super bronco, i started the engine and it ran about five minuets or less and stopped. I had no power to anything, checked the battery was ok, also the brake pedal was engaged, the cutting blade was disengaged and the seat safety switch checked ok. What could the problem be i have no power to anything is it possible the ignition switch went bad or the solenoid?

Answer
There should be an inline fuse in the system somewhere, which could
be blown.  Of course when you replace it, the likelihood that it will
blow again is good, so to run down the problem, you will have to
do some work.
   First off, we need the model number off of the tag under the seat, that way I will know what you have, and if there is any online
info, we can both view it.

   Let me know what you find,
Thanks,
