I have a 2006 Cub Cadet RZT 50" that I bought second hand. Worked fine last year after I bought it. When I went to start it this year the battery was dead so I replaced it. Now I am blowing fuses left and right. It doesn't matter if it's at idle, moving, or the PTO is engaged I can't get it to run longer than a minute before it blows a fuse. I have replaced the solenoid (don't have a good reason why I started there) and still have the same problem. The other issue I have noticed is that the new battery has gone dead twice, it dies in about a week. I have checked all wiring, its in good shape, nothing is grounding out or crossing. Someone told me that it should have a 20AMP fuse instead of a 15AMP. I put a 20 in last night and it ran without a problem, except I noticed the fuse was very warm when I finally shut it down.
Any suggestions?
