I've studied this schematic and the best I can tell is that there is but 1 fuse. When the blades stop. I'll shut the mower off for an hour or so then it will start and the blades will engage for about 10 mins then off again. It's as though the clutch is getting hot and shutting off. Is that telling me the clutch is gone. A clutch is more than the mower is worth.
Is the voltage still good to the clutch when this happens? Take a look at this link: Riding Mower Electric PTO Clutch Won't Engage When Hot Problem Fix - YouTube
It seems that my running mower is not charging the battery. There is no output from the magneto. When the battery gets low enough the first thing to quit is the PTO, if I keep running the engine will quit and won't do anything until I charge the battery. With a full charge on the battery I can mow until again the battery gets too low to keep things running. Don't know how to fix the magneto thing but at least I know the problem and don't have to junk the mower because an electric is an expensive proud thing.
