Blower motors are notorious for doing that.
They pull high amps, especially when operated on high for extended times.
Often the motor will begin to draw more amps as the shaft bushings wear and the lubrication dries out. It may be time for a new motor, especially if it is rattling or squealing. Dropping it back to a lower speed will greatly reduce the amp draw.
What you can try to do on the bad fuse holder, take the fuse block out, turn it over. Working from the back side, find the wire that feeds the blower, cut it loose from the burned out terminal. Buy a heavy duty fuse pigtail from the auto supply. Look for the heaviest wire size you can find. Trim the wire back away from the heat damaged end, solder and heat shrink one wire of the fuse holder pigtail to that wire.
Then find the accessory feed wire that powers that circuit of the fuse block. Don't cut the wire loose because it probably feeds other circuits in the fuse block. Strip back the insulation and splice the other lead of the fuse holder to that wire with a good solder connection, tape it securely.
Route the fuse pigtail wires out from behind the fuse block, reinstall the fuse block so not to pinch the wires.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
