Was the control mod your problem?? I have almost an identical issue. Went to fire up tractor, ran it 3 weeks earlier and never had any starting problems. Battery was dead. Dont know why, but was. Tried to charge and quick charge for 10 minutes and still wont start. Jumped it with the car and all was well. Started pushing snow. Smelled an electrical smell 5 minutes later. Got off tractor and looked around sniffing. Found nothing and thought maybe it was just me since it was 2 out. Tractor died 15 minutes later.Had to jump it again and all was well till i put it in gear and it died. Check seat switch and it was fine. Towed tractor to my barn and started looking around. Wanted to check seat switch wiring at control module. Could smell electrical when I was under the seat. I pulled out the control module and opened it up and the resistors inside where fried. Had moister inside the box. Not sure if this was the issue or if the moisture formed do to the heat inside the box from the fault and then cooling down. Hate to put another one in with out knowing if something caused this??? I charged up the battery and pulled all 3 main power fuses. Hooked meter up in series and check amperage with key off. Put F1 in going to ignition switch and all was well. 0 Amps. Put F2 in feeding regulator/rectifier. All was well 0 Amps. Put F3 in feeding K2 engine pre heater. All was well. 0 Amps. With this said I don't know why my battery was dead. All these test where done with a bad control module so not sure if that would have any affect or not. Dont think so looking at the print. Any help would be great.
