L120 lawn tractor blades will not engage

Asked Oct 9, 2011, 02:55 PM — 2 Answers
I have an L120 lawn tractor which works perfectly except that when you engage the pto to turn on the cutting blades it burns out the 20 amp fuse which shuts off the engine. What could be causing this? Could it be the clutch?

unplug the clutch , pull the switch see if it stills blows fuse l
if not clutch , if so switch ,

Hi,
The switches are notorious for causing this.
Peace,
