Check to make sure all spark plugs are firing. I had a similar problem with my Scag Walk-behind -- one of the cylinders was dead -- it seemed to run fine, but as soon as I engaged the blades, it bogged down and quit.

Is your PTO clutch an electric engaged clutch? If so, you must have created a short when you installed the new one.

On my 782 it has a seat switch which will kill the engine if the mower clutch (electric) is engaged and the switch is not depressed. Perhaps your switch is bad.

Hey! This is great. I finally got to this post, and you're problem is already over, and you said what it was that fixed it. Now I'm just waiting to hear how you fixed the other two!!
