I have a Gravely 460 with the Kubota Diesel Engine. The mower is a little less than 3 yrs old. It has an inline fuse holder coming from the alternator with a 70 amp fuse. I assume this is some sort of fusible link? I was mowing yesterday and the mower just shut down and glided to a stop. I checked it over and found the 70 amp fuse had blown and the fuse holder was melted. Any ideas on what would cause this. I would think if the alternator was overcharging I would see other signs of this.

70 amp is way too big. The largest I see on your wiring diagram is 20 amp.
