A jumper across a lamp socket connects switched 12V to ground and it blows the fuse when you turn the key. That would be the expected result and not a recommended test procedure. ; ) Neither headlamp is needed for engine start/run. So I'm guessing the original problem is it won't crank the engine. This would be the start safety interlock which requires the parking brake ON and PTO OFF. If engine cranks but wont fire, it's likely no fuel or no spark.
Maybe this will help.

i would check the grounding wires. have you tried going to higher ampage on the fuse? There is definitely a short somewhere
SOURCE: Dash Lights Blow Fuses
Check the fuses. Look at the Amps given to the lights. It could be lower.

There is a ground not connected or a wire open that is causing it to blow

Hi,
There is a wire shorted to ground (metal) somewhere...check all the wiring for a bare spot somewhere... this is causing the short...repalce the wire and you will be good...
finding the bad spot is the hard part...

you have a wire that is grounding out, I would check the wire coming from the connector on the voltage regulator to the battery. This is the one in the middle position, look for a rub through and tape it up.
