If I lift my fat arse off the seat, should there be a sparky arcy noise coming from aroundabout the fuse panel on the 'driver's' side ?
The arcing stops as soon as I sit back down on the seat /switch.
I don't remember a noise before I had a blown fuse.
I've had the engine shut off a few times in the past because I stood up for just a tad too long, but I don't recall the sparky/arcy noise.
For a couple months before the blown fuse I had what seemed like an ignition switch problem
key on and nothing would happen. several tries and maybe a rap on the cowl and the dash lights would come on and then the starter would engage in start, but the engine would not keep running with the switch in run.
A couple tries and it would start working.
Acting like a bad /intermittant ignition switch.
(lights and flashers worked and the batt was fine)
Once I got the engine running the problem would go away for the day.
Until two weeks ago, when out in the field it wouldn't start back up.
And found a fuse blown.
Ignition problem hasn't returned, but I doubt a fuse was causing the original intermittant problem. (course, Ive had the switch out and upside down, so who knows what has changed internally)

Must be time to get a shop manual - best/only place is Deere ?
