(ET) diodes and charger

["goodguyforsure" <goodguyforsure hotmail com>]

I have replaced both diodes and now the charger blows the house hold fuse
after about 10 seconds. I have the battery charger completely out of the
tractor and not wired to it. Does the charger have to be connected to the
tractor for testing like this?
thanks
