My 4310 has had an issue for a while now, but it appears to have gotten worse.
I have a John Deere 4310, E-Power reverser with mid mount mower deck powered by the mid mount PTO.
1. When I engage the Mid Mount PTO, the F-5 fuse blows
2. The rear PTO worked fine, so I just stopped using the mid mount deck and just used a bush hog.
3. Now, nothing works and the F5 fuse blows as soon as the ignition is switched on
4. Sometimes it will start for a few minutes, then the F-5 fuse will blow
5. I traced the wires looking for breaks and shorts...but did not find anything.
6. I isolated the relays one-by-one but the fuse still blows
7. I disconnected the plug leading to the MFWD and rear PTO and the fuse does not blow...and tractor starts normally
8. I repeated this several times with the same results...and have went through a whole lot of fuses
Can anyone offer guidance?
Thanks
Bill
