MF35 wiring problem

[Vann]

I have rewired my MF35 per the enclosed diagram. I am having a problem with the 15 amp fuse blowing occasionally. I can use the tractor several times and all seems fine. However, next time I try, the tractor is dead-blown fuse.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

From what I can tell from your diagram the tractor did not originally have a fuse in that position. Try moving as indicated by the red arrow. Fused line normally only feeds lights, not the ignition.
I would also change from 15A to 20A fuse

Thanks for the reply.
As you noted, I added the fuse when I rewired the tractor. I assumed that a fuse is always a good idea for protection. maybe that's not a good idea??
I will try a 20 amp fuse and see if that holds.
Again thanks
