I have a 2003 4410 Compact, it keeps blowing my key on fuse when I'm on rough ground, but today it has blown it and when I replaced the fuse it blew it when I turn the key on... where do I start looking? Thanks for your help!

I would examine the wiring harness and all of your electrical components. Look for abrasions and obvious shorts. You can disconnect all of your items that you were using at the time the fuse blew. Then one item at a time, reconnect and check your fuse. Sooner or later your culprit will show up. :good2:

I do more with snowmobiles then tractors, but when a snowmobile acts up and you start tracing wires, it is usually a short in a spot that gets rubbed like steering posts, drive shafts, or heat can burn off wire covering and let it short out.

If you have a digital volt/ ohm meter, it'll make testing much easier. Connect one lead to ground, either on the battery or two the frame. Connect the other lead to the load side of your fuse. Disconnect components until the short goes away. From your description, it sounds like shorted wiring is at fault instead of a failed component.

Thanks everyone for the info., I finally found the wires that were shorting out... they were on a wiring harness that goes between my electric PTO engage switch and pto... it came back to me that it was only blowing the fuse when I was clipping. so,Thanks again!:thumbup1gif:
