20 amp fuse blows when I engage PTO

I have an exmark model LHP4417KA. The fuse blows when I engage the PTO and engine dies. Replaced the fuse and the mower runs good, but as soon as i engage the PTO the fuse blows almost instantly. What could cause this.

    A partially or fully short electric PTO clutch field winding.
     
    According to Warner the minimum coil resistance is 1.84 Ohms and should draw only 6.35 amps.
