Slow Blow Fuse L2850 tractor

[vbholland]

I blew the slow blow fuse on my L2850. I've searched the internet and have not been able to find one to replace it with. I'm thinking that maybe it's not produced anymore? Where can I find one like the one I blew? Attached is the picture of the one I blew.

Part will cost less than shipping, so check with local dealer first.

Thank you. "Fusible Link"? No wonder I couldn't find it - I've been searching for "slow blow fuse", as it's described in the owner's manual.

Over time the fusible link corrodes until the starting circuit stops working. Its actual purpose is to protect the instrument panel if jumper cables get connected backward. I keep a new link in stock - but a loop of 14awg house wire works as a temporary substitute. Just be extra careful connecting battery cables.

Can buy a length of fuse link wire from most auto parts stores, match the gauge and solder it in. Or crimp a couple spades on the wire and plug it in.

Newer models use a slow blow fuse which you can get at any auto parts store, I'm not sure if you could get it to fit the stock connector, but it might be worth a try.
