350 ES just quit running, nothing. Noticed ground connection was loose at battery. Tightened. Nothing. Took battery in and replaced, installed, started right up. I was letting it idle while I was putting battery cover back together. Died again. Nothing. I started looking around and first I noticed on the right rear frame a gray vented/fins part that seemed hot to the touch. Next, I noticed the 30 amp main was blown. Went to put in spare it just sparked and arced and blew also. I work on what I can to save money. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm,if this is a repeat,ignore. I haven't wired anything new. I rechecked terminals..as I said it started right up and was purring as it always has..I have to take tractor and wagon to pick it up today. I was working on it in the dark. I tried to see if there was a short, but in the dark with my headlamp it was difficult. What is the part I am referring to on the rt rear frame? I was wondering if that loose ground at battery terminal could have fried some electronic part. Man I miss my 250 Big Red, my dad was getting older and thought he would get around better on the farm with a 4-wheeler w/electronic shift. Well thanks for the help, you all get the honorary six pack.
