John Deere M655 zero turn

[budman0612]

I have a John Deere M655 zero turn. It starts and runs. It died but it restarted fine. Then when I tried to engage the mower deck the drive that runs the blades ceases and it dies.

Are you at full throttle when you engage blades PTO?

start the mower, set the parking brake & raise your bum off the seat.
Engine stops = problem with the seat switch &/ or wiring to it.
