Why will the motor stall when put into gear or trying to in gage the mower deck

Something is jammed in the drive and when you put the mower in gear the motor stalls. U need to locate the source of the problem - once you do that all will be copacetic.

Sound like a safety switch has gone bad. Either the clutch or seat switch are bad.

You've probably put the belt on incorrectly or not put the clutch wheel or spring back correctly. When you press the clutch a jockey wheel on the drive belt should release the tension, allowing the belt to slip and the gears to be engaged.

there is other safety switches on the pedal and on the pto

it sounds like something in the transfer case is locked up?

few reasons will try to narrow down first start it and put in neutral and deck disengaged release clutch if bogs then fuel problem the carb may need adjustment or repair or fuel filter needs replacement----if no bog step on clutch no put in gear release clutch if bogs check drive belt -upper belt on engine pulley and check for binding an idler pulley problem -debris -or rear unit binding -needs service-drive pulley damaged-rear locked--if not bogging in gear step on clutch engage deck release clutch if bogs need to check deck -belts-pulleys -mandrels -bearings and for bent or binding blades good luck

remove the drive belts from the motor. if it runs ok check your pulleys. one of them might be siezed.if it still dies chk the safety switch on the gear selecter and deck engage lever.

your lacking power and probably need to clean your carb or adjust the main idle screw..its on the botton of the float bowl...back it out a half turn...start with a quater..well its running

Under the seat, there is a operator presence switch, if this switch fails, the mower will shut off when the brake is released, or put in any gear.

The seat switch was stuck
thanks
