Hi. My riding lawnmower (Cub Cadet) starts up fine and I can drive it around, but if I engage the blades and mow for a bit the blades will stop. Now, the engine is still running at this point BUT if I turn it off it will not start back up. This is because I have blown a fuse. I replaced it several times with the same results. What the heck is going on? It seems that it’s only when the blades are on that the fuse will blow.

The fuse is good. The ignition clicks. The engine is hot because I was just mowing with my 22hp riding mower/Troybuilt with Briggs & Stratton engine ,electric key starter. I pulled the idler arm out, made sure the mowing button was turned off and that the transmission was in forward drive.And to top it off, its about to rain.So I Could use some mechanically inclined man to answer this please.

i was trimming my grass today and accidently cut the wire as it got caught in the blades and i fixed the wire but the lawnmower still isn’t working. the problem is not the wire. it is something else because i am an electrician and have checked the wire.
i have checked the fuse and wire and socket, and plug
