Have encore prowler Mower powered by Fd661d Kawasaki gas engine. Cuts for about 45 minutes and main 30 amp fuse blows. Put new fuse in and
starts right up. This would indicate either a pto switch and/or electric clutch problem.......? ? ......thxs
 
That you said and is the alternator charging the battery?

This is the water cooled Kawasaki isn't it? I don't have a lot of experience on those.
 
battery charging on liquid cool engine. After mowing several minutes fuse blows. When Engine cools off it mows fine for several minutes with new fuse.
 
Look over the wiring to the PTO clutch for damage. Could be rubbing, pinched, mouse chewed.

If nothing looks bad, look the wiring over in general for any signs of damage.

Might try driving it around with the PTO off, see if it will blow the fuse. If not, could be the clutch coil shorted internally.
 
I had a similar problem with a motorcycle - it would blow the main fuse from time to time for no apparent reason. These fuses were inline glass tube with a connection ferrule at each end. At some point the lead wires connecting to the fuse began to show melted insulation and the connections seemed loose. I replaced the over heated wires and found connectors that firmly gripped the fuse ferrules. There were no fuse failures after that - I retired the motorcycle at a little over 100,000 miles. My theory is that the loose connections caused resistance/heating resulting in the fuse failure.
