JD 6410 SUDDEN SHUTDOWN MID OPERATION

[hounddog1]

THIS TRACTOR SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN, MID OPERATION, WHEN BALING.
FUSES ARE REPLACED, IT STARTS, AND DOES IT AGAIN.
OBVIOUSLY A SHORT, SOMEWHERE.
ACCORDING TO MECHANIC, MAYBE IN THE HARNESS SOMEWHERE.
HAS ANYONE HAD THIS, AND IF SO, WHERE TO LOOK???
THANKS

3. Which fuses are being blown?

 

[Zebrafive]

Tell the fuse(s) that blew. Then we can help trouble shoot.

 

[hounddog1]

It is the 30A fuse

Fuse number in the panel?

 

[hounddog1]

IT IS THE FUSE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE PANEL, # F 101

SORRY ABOUT THE EARLIER MISTAKE

Does just turning the key ON cause the fuse F101 to blow?
How long does it run before the fuse blows?
My guess is the electric fuel pump.

My guess is the electric fuel pump.

If it is the fuel pump, I believe he should be able to just leave the key on and take an amp reading, or just leave it on and see if it blow.

It was just a guess about the fuel pump. I was thinking it may get hot then blow the fuse.

It's a very good guess.

My point being that just with the key on and the engine not running, the fuel pump should come on. If it does, then it would be easy to take an amp reading, or see if it blows.
