Stalls When engaging the blade clutch

If you are sitting on the tractor seat and the engine stalls when engaging the PTO mover blades I would check the switch under the seat.

This seat has a saftey switch to assure that the operator is in a safe location before engaging the the blades. Also if the blades are engaged and the operator leaves the seat the blades will stop. If a young rider with insufficient weight the blades will not engage.



Hope this helps?

Lawn Tractor stalls after engaging blades or releasing brake ...

www.shopyourway.com > Manage My Life > Questions
Scenario 2: Engine started, as above in scenario 1 and manaul brake lever is engaged. Again ... Lawn Tractor stalls after engaging blades or releasing brake .... I am goingto replace that anyway but it almost seems my problem is electrica

So if you raise the revs to say about 4000 rpm and let the clutch out does it stall or judder or both will it engage at all and pull away ?

You have a bad switch a seat or clutch one of them are bad

You need to check the wires from the clutch, with the ignition on pull the pto switch out there should be a 12 volt supply at the wires if not replace the pto switch, if you have 12 volts then it is the clutch itself, they are not realy repairable, so may need a replacment.

Normally I believe this mower to have a Kawasaki engine, and the main jet and 'pilot air hole' need to be cleaned. You are running a lean condition, and when the blade is engaged, the engine does not have enough fuel to continue the extra load. A small test for this is to engage the blade and the choke at the same time. If the engine has enough fuel to continue running and engage the blade, this confirms the lean fuel condition. Cleaning those jets will solve the issue.

Possible short to ground in the clutch wiring

you have a safety switch malfunctioning or a transistorized relay not working properly. Go to www.partsdirect.com, this is sears website. It should be able to find and illustrated parts list for your mower.

does it run off of a pto system or is it a lver type if its a lever type there is a switch under the lever also you might have something caught in the deck causeing it not to engage blades if i can further help e-mail me wade at [email protected]

Did you try to disengage the safety feature that should shut the tractor off when the blades are engaged and the tractor is placed in reverse? I believe that it is located under the shift leaver
