This is my pals mower and it stops cutting after a half hour. When it cools down it will cut again. Dont know much about these. Do they have an electric clutch? Any help in diagnosis is much appreciated.

Going to need more info. Some have an electric clutch, some don't. Model number of mower if nothing else.

Remember excessive heat will cause fuel systems to fail. Dirty engine blocks and excessive dead grass around electric PTO's are NG.

List tractor info when you can.

When you said "it stops cutting", does this mean that the engine is still running? (the blades stopped cutting)
