    John Deere D160 Won't crank/ Dies when i engage mower

    bertsmobile1 You sir are a scholar. I followed your directions on bypassing the ignition switch and other switch's. Started wiggling wires at connections and taking them apart to clean them with electrical contact cleaner [unhooked the battery to do the spray cleaner on connections] When i got...

    John Deere D160 Won't crank/ Dies when i engage mower

    I did do that with the seat, reverse mow, and clutch switch's. The problem is not there but i'll try your suggestion. Can you explain more on the B&S+ M&G wires. Had a bad day with pain from a surgery gone bad so i could not look into it anymore today. Hope maybe to tomorrow. Thanks.

    I turned the outside blade by hand but i will check the other blades. It's not the PTO switch. It does kick in and out. I did try engaging it several times on and off to try to get the blades spinning and every time i engage it, it wants to kill the motor. I will remove the mower belt tomorrow...

    John Deere D160 Won't crank/ Dies when i engage mower

    I recently bought this mower with 55 hours on it. Started fine and mower engaged fine until i serviced it yesterday. Changed the oil and greased it. Mower spindles looked like it had been a long time since greased if ever so i put about 15 pumps in them. [Maybe too much?] Anyway, it started up...
