I have a Craftsman Garden Tractor Mod. # 917.275034. While Mowing today it stalled and will not re start . Through process of elimination a blown fuse was located in the wiring harness. The manual offers no information as to what the fuse controls but it continues to blow. Deck was disengaged and tractor was inneutral and all safetys were on. Any ideas ?

The only thing that comes to mind for me is to simply trace the wires from the fuse with a jumper wire for continuity. I am guessing that a wire has rubbed throuh the insulation and caused a short in the circuit.

You have a short somewhere, start tracing wires.
