L4240 DIES fuse goes Dead while

[Fatdaddy]

Im cutting the grass with my woods 990 and the Tractor goes dead.
It says PTO on the dash but will not start..
Once I was just moving not cutting,, I took a bump and it went dead

Called a guy he tells me you blew a fuse and went dead
yes that is what happend
.
Now this happend about 3 times just yesterday..
One time it happend 15 min apart.
In the fuse box its the TOP fuse on the right every time

Somebody fill me in on why and what do I do to fix this..
I did go buy a packet of 5amp fuses

Most likely you have a short (to ground) that is causing a higher amperage than normal draw in that paticular circuit than normal.

Check for worn or pinched wires in that circuit. Sounds like something that can shift or move and short when you hit a bump.

You could get a circuit breaker that will fit the place of the fuse (it will trip and reset itself) till you can find the short.
I would look around the seat for a pinched or rubbed wire.
