An engine that splutters and dies generally indicates a fuel delivery problem. I'd do the simple things first - change the fuel filter, check for collapsed fuel hoses, use a "complete fuel system" cleaner additive and check for a blocked breather in the fuel cap/tank. The latter is the easiest to try to fix (temporarily); just run with the fuel filler cap slightly loose and see if the problem goes away.

I have the same mower. The wires do need to be connected. It is a safety feature on the cubs. The engine will not start if the electric PTO is engaged. I just went into the garage, pulled the pto lever out to engage, pushed down brake, tried to start and it would not start. I suggest reattatching the wires and trying it. Hope this helps.

Here's a link to where you can find your 3000 series service manual. You will find the schematics starting in chapter 17. Please find your correct engine configuration to match the correct schematic.

Hello, W/D here.
Without a particular model number, I'll have to be somewhat generic, so forgive me in advance.
The fact that the mower will run and the blades will engage is good news; it eliminates about half of the things that would need to be checked.
Look for a lever at the (usually) back of the tractor, on the back plate, down low. Sometimes called a range selector or a disengagement lever. Normally, the position of this rod is "IN". If it has pulled towards the "OUT" position, the transmission is disengaged. Usually this rod is pulled out when you want to push the mower, and I expect you're tired of that by now! Chech and see if this is the issue, and post back if not.
Regards, --W/D--
