Long shot here, but check your wiring for a frayed or lose wire. You may be grounding out somewhere causing the fuse to blow. If you can have someone start the...

I have a L120. The fuse blew a few weeks ago and I replaced it and the tractor worked fine. It blew again, I replaced it again. I then started searching for...

I'd start simple first. It's possible that the shorting out of unit shorted out a cell in the battery, therby not allowing it to hold a charge for any...

I hate to admit it, but the fastest way is the recommended by John Deere way. It takes 5 clips (and about 2 minutes) to drop the deck and slide it out where...
