Hi Bill, you electric clutch only engages your pto. The clutch for the Transmission just releases tension on an idler for the drive belt. Do you still have spring resistance on the clutch pedal?
I own a similiar John Deere model (L130, 23HP with a 48" deck). I would check the electric clutch (called a PTO). To do this check the wires to this clutch and look for something disconnected. These wires (to this PTO clutch) should have twelve volts with the key on and the blades engaged.
Adjust the clearance between the plates,9/16 wrench and turn the three nuts on the clutch one at a time about 1/4 turn each,retry the clutch,repeat until it works normally.
You may have a defective park brake switch or the pto clutch could need to be adjusted.Does the machine **** down when you try to engage the pto?If so also check the seat switch.To adjust the pto clutch you need a 9/16' wrench and tur all three lock nuts on the clutch a half turn at a time a retry the clutch,keep going until it will stay engaged.
I had that exact same mower about 20 years ago. The clutch if i recall correctly is like the clutch on a automotive AC compressor, its an electro magnet that pulls the clutch plate in, so if its slipping its probably just time for a new clutch. As far as i can remember, and like i said its been 20 years, there is no adjustment on the electric clutch because it has spring pressure to compensate for wear, so as it wears down it still engages, but if your slipping its probably just beyond its wear limits and needs to be replaced.
