TC30 10 amp fuse

[beckelkamp]

Can anyone tell me what is all on this fuse? Fuse blows after about 30-45 minutes of brush hogging and shuts engine down and dash gauges won't come back on. I just purchased this tractor so I have no manual or diagrams. Its the fuse all the way to the right looking head on at the fusebox. I'm guessing there is a short somewhere. Appreciate if someone could help. Thank you.

From the manual:
When looking at the fuse block on the firewall from that side of the tractor, left to right (outside position to the inside position) are #3,2,1.
#1 (inside position) 10 amp, Fuel solenoid, safety start circuit, instrument panel, gauges and indicator lights, alternator
#2 (middle) 10 amp, Headlights, tail lights, optional rear work light, turn signals
#3 (outside position) 15 amp, Hazard lights

Does sound like a short, unfortunately that fuse covers a lot of different possibilities. I would start with the instrument panel harnesses and the wire harness coming off the ignition key switch. Could be vibration triggering, I had an issue where the the wire assembly got twisted up by the ignition switch plate being loose that cause a short. Some solder and dogging down the switch's nut fixed it.
