I have a John Deere tractor with a mower deck. I can start it without a problem but when I try to let up on the clutch or engage the mower deck it stalls. I've checked the plugs, air filter, oil levels, etc. Sometimes it will even run and the mower deck will work for a while and then it starts to sputter. As soon as I push in the clutch the engine seems fine but when I try to let the clutch out - same thing.
When you let the clutch out and it stop engine it could be a safty switch. but a safty switch would not make it stop after it was runnig unless you have a short in the wire.
