The JD 420 is running again! After tracing down all the wiring on the diagram from JerryK, and following some troubleshooting in the service manual at a local dealer, it all pointed to the Time Delay Control Module (about $190). Before I ordered a new one, I rechecked the 2 fuses. I had blown the 20a fuse and replaced it, and that one was ok, but there is also a little 2a fuse, which looked ok, but when I tested it, it was no good. So I replaced that one and the batty charge light went out, the PTO switch worked, and it no longer stalled when taken out of neutral. All those switches go thru the TDC Module, and that tiny fuse was the culprit? So I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope it doesnt blow again, if so there is another problem causing it to blow. Thanks to all the TractorByNet guys for the suggestions.
