2 places where they might be, lift your seat and look where your hydraulics are and you should see on each pump a bolt with a hole going through it turn those to loosen the pressure, another place is under the mower, on both sides you will see a pin that you pull back to a locking bracket just pull those out and it will roll freely and put the back to drive again same with the first suggestion

u have a bad switch or a wire touching somewhere maybe the sit switch

Either the PTO clutch itself, or the wiring to it, is shorted, causing the fuse to blow. The PTO clutch is mounted on the motor shaft, prevented from rotating by an anchor bolted to the chassis. A pair of wires lead away from it to a connector (probably after passing through the chassis). Disconnect that connector - may be one for each wire, or a double-contact connector. Look carefully at the wires -- they are in a vulnerable area, lots of vibration, and could chafe to wear away their insulation, grounding out to the chassis. That could be fixed with some tape. Get an ohmmeter with a low resistance scale (200 ohms or less is even better) and measure the resistance between the PTO clutch wires - should be about 1.5 to 2.5 ohms. If much less, the clutch is shorted and must be replaced. Good luck! If helpful, please rate my answer, thanks!

My first impression is a ground issue. You might try disconnecting the deck height switch and see if/how the symptoms change.


The wiring diagram shows the electric clutch is energized when the ignition switch is in either run or start with PTO switch on. Testing can be done without the engine running. Check the common ground point.

Make sure that it has a clean air filter. Also the spark plug could be miss firing under a load.
