Try this. Hope this helps. This is your chassis assembly. Look at return springs etc.

Testimonial: "Thank you for the diagram. I used the same diagram to help describe the parts in my original query. The Return Spring (pt# 161) does not show where it is connected."
Is there a hole in lever with some wear or small scratches? Also, I would look on frame in front of brake lever. Look for a small hole or hook that maybe shows signs of wear. I'll keep digging for info. Let me know if you find it or not. Good luck!

Try pulling on the cable coming down to deck. This cable might be your problem. Also check that the spring on the end of this cable is present and functional.
SOURCE: Tractor Will Not Move And Dies When Brake Is Released
I would check the wires and clean the connectors and make sure seat switch is working. If that is not working, it's like getting off the seat without holding the brake/clutch pedal down or getting off seat with blades engaged. Both will cause engine to die.

OK. You have one of two problems, or maybe a combination of the two.lol. Either the clutch cable that runs from the lever to the deck is frozen, or most likely, the pivot point on the idler arm on the deck is rusted up and is not disengaging. Spray some penatrating oil at the base of the bracket the idler pulley is mounted on (pivot point) while working it back an forth until is loosens up. There is also a spring that is hooked to the idler arm and to a slot in the middle toward the front of the deck to pull the arm forward when the blades are disengaged. Make sure that is in place also.

It sounds like the brake plate is sticking on the transaxle,if you look on the right side of the transaxle a rod and spring run back from the front to a plate,under this plate are two 1/4 pins that actuate the brake pads on the disc,lubricate these pins with wd-40 and move the plate back and forth to see i this frees the problem up.
