HI Guys

I have a John deere x165 . Actually we have 2 . One is perfect .The other one has been to John deere South Africa and more than i can count lawn mower service people .

It loses intermittent power when engaging the deck . Sometimes it will run for two hours without a hitch . Then al of a sudden it starts losing power when belt is engaged

regards
Kobus

Idler pulley or spindle bearing freezing up possibly.

I'd say check the fuel filter and gas tank air vent. Sounds like something is pulling a bit of a vacuum on fuel delivery system.
