I have a Bobcat S150 that blows the 100 amp engine fuse as soon as you turn the key. I removed the Glow Plug Fuse and it starts fine since it is always around 90 degrees here on the Gulf Coast. Would this be a glow plug issue or something else?

SIMPLE OHM TEST OF GLOW PLUGS.WILL TELL THE TALE. ISOLATE AND TEST
I am not 100 percent sure on this but I assume that there is a glow plug relay, if you can find it and disconnect the wire that feeds the glow plugs that will give you a good starting point to isolate problem. Remember good glow plugs normally operate with a less than a 5 ohm reading , but not a solid zero reading to ground.
