just figured out what is going on, one of the fuses is being blown, what could keep causing one of the 2 fuses to blow ?

 

Many challenges face landscape professionals and one of them is electrical troubleshooting. Several variables can cause erratic or undesired electrical behavior and the clutch is no exception. The checklist below will assist you in diagnosing where the issue lies.
1) Clutch resistance
a. With the engine off, disconnect the clutch from the wiring harness and measure the resistance across the two terminals inside the clutch connector; it should read 1.75 to 2.0 Ω (Ohms).
2) Harness and battery ground
a. Intermittent ground connections can be difficult to diagnose, verify that the battery terminal isn’t corroded and that both the battery connections and the harness ground are clean and tight.
3) Clutch connector
a. A broken wire, bad crimp, or failed terminal can lead to a poor connection and increased current draw resulting in blown fuses. Verify that the wires aren’t broken internally, the crimp looks good, and the terminal isn’t arcing.

To many things to mention

I am thinking it's more than likely one of your wires leading to and from the clutch has come loose, which is why it wasn't engaging, and now it's probably touching something else metal-to-metal causing a short which is why it's blowing fuses. So I would see about visually tracing both of the wires that connect to the clutch all the way from one end to the next, also look for breaks or worn down plastic insulation on the wires.

While you're tracing that I would also look and see if any other wires have come loose / disconnected.
And I know it's a bit of a painstaking process, but with a lawn mower it ain't nothing an hour or two of good long and hard looking can't do.

Because I believe it's a loose wire touching something else metal that's causing the short. That's what I think, of course I could always be wrong, there's always that chance as well but if that were my mower this is where most likely I would start looking.

Best of luck
