I know vey very little about small engines, just to preface this post...
I bought a cub cadet Ltx 1050 recently, with a 24 hp kohler courage V twin.
I mowed with it for about an hour, and of course, hit a rock (new construction property, rocky in some areas, hence starting with a bit of an older rider...I know, still risky as hell).
The Pto stopped, some smoke came out of left side of motor (I thought I smelled plastic). I turned the key off quickly and assessed situation...
No power registered anywhere on the dash or otherwise, and I found that the 20A fuse blew....when I replaced fuse and reconnected the pos wire to the battery, it sparked and blew fuse again...so I started to isolate the wiring harnesses (all of the wires looked intact as far as i could see). The first one I disconnected, the wires for motor, the fuse didnt blow and power registered to the dash...problem in the motor...greeeaaat. I thought maybe it was the voltage regulator, bc it looks old, but not completely burnt up or anything. Then I discovered that the flywheel does not move. How screwed am I? I feel like pretty much big time. Would this cause fuse to blow as soon as the battery is connected? Thanks for any feedback.

Good luck.
