Check fuel tank vent or possibly ignition module failing with temperature.

SOURCE: cuts out and stops sometimes after 30 min. or so

check your fuel delivery system. It sounds like a blocked filter, failing pump or a restriction in the fuel line.

Does the mower die right away (cuts out) or does it sputter to a halt. Sputtering out would indicate a fuel problem. If it just cuts out when hot, then more likely an ignition problem. Your coil may need replacing. Take a close look at the coil wire (spark plug wire) and its routing. Make sure it's not touching part of the engine where it's heating up and has caused a "leak" to ground it out when it gets hot. If all is well then check your spark when the engine is hot and cuts out. Make sure you have a very good blue spark and not a weak one (check it cold first and then compare!). Again, indicating a possible ignition coil problem. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.

My john deere x530 is acting like it is starving for fuel after about 30 to 45 min of mowing. I changed the gas. checked the hoses put a new fuel filter and fuel pump on and took cab apart and clean

I have several that the vent in the fuel cap is plugged. When it starts acting up loosen the fuel cap and see if it starts running right. This was common on the models with the PIN number 060000 or earlier.

Have a cub cadet 50 inch cut zero turn, after cutting grass for 30 min or so it acts like wants to die but if I shut the PTO off it catches up but will start to die if I reengage the blades. starts a

When it starts cutting out and you turn off the PTO, how long do you have to wait until it can be turned on again? It sounds as if your PTO is overheating and loading down the engine. Run the mower for about 10 minutes, shut it off, and carefully feel the PTO housing. Resume cutting and repeat after it starts cutting out.

Replacing it is not as simple as changing the spark plug, but does not require an advanced degree.

It sounds to me that you have something in your gas tank that is intermittently plugging your gas feed hole. Inspect in your tank for something floating around in there and pull it out.

MY ******* WILL SHUT DOWN AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN OF MOWING LET COOL OFF ABOUT15 MIN WILL START WRIGHT BACK UP AND MOW AND WILL DO IT AGAIN CAN YOU HELP ME

You have a Ignition Coil (Module) going bad. This is how they act right before they quit completely. You may be able to pick one up used pretty cheap from a small engine shop.

Good Luck!

Mower keeps cutting off while trying to mow or ride with blades dis engaged. It will act like it is about to cut off a few times then it finally will. Doesn't matter the throttle position( low or high)....

This might be a stripped wire somewhere, maybe a wire going to a safety switch under the seat or on the cutting deck and it is earthing against the body from time to time.
