Can someone send the tl140 wiring diagram page lll-45 mine got covered in grease today
Trying to figure out why I keep blowing lever fuse, when it blows I replace it and blows again anywhere from 1-10 minutes

So I’m still blowing fuses the hotter it is outside the more I seem to blow, could a bad resistor cause this problem, once it cools off for a little while it will work for a little while
If you replace the fuse right away it will blow it as soon as you turn the key
Could I swap the resistor for the one way resistor Takeuchi wants $225 for the resistor assy they only sell it as a unit of all three

have you check the wire bundle by the muffler where the cab hinges? Mine was worn through there.

Have you checked the lever lock solenoid itself? Does it get hot?
It's one of these two. The other is rabbit/ turtle travel.

I'm pretty sure that it's the bottom circled one (the standoff one with a Tee is rabbit/ turtle.)

So my problem got worse today, turn key blows lever lock fuse, I thinking I have a wire shorted of I unplug relays lever lock solenoid, turn key blows fuse there is 2 green and white wires that run from the front to the back of machine but I can’t find where ( 1 goes to the proximity switch)
Should the gw wire be grounded and should the rb be grounded
