When I turn on the switch will not engage mower
SOURCE: Craftsman 18.5 riding mower when I engage the
craftsman decks have a positive stop adjustment for the decks. A spring atached to the blade ingadgement arm pulls the tension pully into position if the cable is rusted inside the sleeve it wont put enough pull on the ingadgment pully and thus the blades dont spin full force the belts on the mowers have no adjustments only the pully . second thing is you may want to drop the deck and clean around that pully by scraping any rust off the surface under the pullys slide good luck

You deffinately have a loose wire or connection coming off that switch,youll have to investigate to find out where it is.

SOURCE: Craftsman zero turn - blades won't engage
The PTO switch contacts to operate the clutch that starts the blades is defective. I have replaced mine and the new one just failed again. Sears must know this is a defect problem but so far they are quiet about the problem
