When I release the brake, the engine shut shut down, when I Pull the PTO up , the engine shut down. I bought new safety switches on the brake, replaced the PTO switch. Still does the same thing. checked all the other safety switches, they are working fine. I did by pass the brake switches hooked up direct and I by pass the PTO switch. I got the blades to run and I was able to let the brake down with out it cutting out and I was able to cut my yard. Have any possible part need to be replace?
Have you checked the safety switch under the seat? Operator presence is required on most equipment today to properly function. If the seat switch isn't closed, it will shut the engine down if the parking brake is released and/or the blade PTO switch is engaged. Unplug the seat switch and place a jumper into the seat switch receptacle to the wiring harness; not the male plug to the seat switch. If you can start the mower, disengage the parking brake, and engage the mower blades (with your other switches reconnected) without engine shut down, replace the seat switch.
