Default My Z Force 44" Wont Start

I have purchased a used Z Force O Turn Model A6L712. When purchased I was told by owner that the bolt in the PTO had loosened & dropped out, and only needed a new one with appropriate washers. I was able to hear it run & tried out the Hydrostatic Operation of the machine which preformed very well.
He had an absolute Detailed report from Cub Cadet Manual for the machine as well as all maintenance performed @ described preventive maintenance scheduled appropriately.
After returning home with machine BEAMING with Pride because I though I had struck a good deal, all Hell broke loose.
The plug under the seat wasn't making good contact, it started however when releasing the brake it stalled. That was an easy fix with CRC Electrical spray T God ran well however I hadn't replaced the bolt yet..
After replacing it everything was running fine & I was off to the Proverbial Races to mow the lawn, so I thought.

I believe I had the blades to low which seem to stain the machine & blew the fuse. I replaced it & began to Mow again.
After a couple turns around the lawn it began to run a l little rough. I was headed to the shed to adjust the Carb. Didn't make it, it died,

Replaced blown fuse again & it blew immediately.
Finally got it too shed I have checked continuity for Forward/Reverse Control, Brake, Clutch wires @ Clutch, all good with the exception of fuse area. The fuse remains good however I don't have Continuity with in the wires supplied to fuse from ignition switch.
I though maybe the solenoid (REPLACED IT) because I could jumped the wires @ solenoid, motor would turn over & spark is there @ plug no help.
Replaced the ignition as well No Help.

Any Thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated
Nothing worse than buying it & it doesn't run immediately

And thought U got a deal especially will all the manuals & history of machine.
I know this is pretty extensive however I wanted to cover all bases
Thank You in Advance

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
