JD L130 blew 20A fuse while mowing - upon replacing, blows again when engaging blades

Overall, what do you think about the L130 mowers?

You can buy a better mower, but if it cranks, runs, and mows good everyone is happy happy happy.

Keep the tires aired up properly, the oil changed every year, the air filter cleaned every month and the blades sharpened often.

Thanks, I guess I don't have a brand loyalty when it comes to mowers......although I won't have another MTD product, simply because of the 2-belt set-up that has to be synced and adjusted perfectly and all that crap. They really need to re-think that setup, if they haven't already.
