SOURCE: The mower starts, the blades will engage, but when

Here is a dumb question for you, are you sitting on the machine when you release the petal?

Most new machines have a 'operator presence' safety system on them. To run the machine, the operator must be in the operators regular position. I would guess you know this.

Can you release the brake and continue to run with the mower off???

Maybe your machine requires you to engage the drive and then the mower???

So, if the engine dies when you engage the drive system, the tractor thinks there is no one in the seat. Look for a switch malfunction under your seat.

Please let me what happens. Id like to solve this for you.

SOURCE: freewheel lever broken

For the wire to come all the way out lever on top of the trans must be broken. I've seen a few. Jack rear of mower up, remove rear right wheel and find remnants of lever. With pliers turn this all the way forward, mower will now go. But to fit new lever trans will have to be removed. Dont forget the axle key.

Cannot engage parking brake on John Deere L108 mower. Clutch and foot brake work fine. Cannot lift orange lever to set. What can I do? Thanks

If new to the unit...

To set parking brake, you FULLY depress and hold the brake/clutch pedal, engage and hold park brake lock, release brake/clutch pedal. You may need to adjust seat forward.

Else...
If the brake lock won't move when brake/clutch is fully depressed, check for obstruction in brake lock linkage.

Parking Brake Light won't turn off, Cruise Control won't engage

Get down and look at parking brake assembly, If you see an electrical connector, unplug it, see if that helps? If it doesn't help or causes other issues just plug it back in.
Of course that isn't the proper fix. If something wrong with parking brake assembly, get it checked out.

2004 cavalier wont move

The rear brakes are in fact engaged.
The parking brake handle may be released, but the rear wheel brakes are on.
Jack up one side and see if you can turn the wheel, then check the other side.
