Well, this one's got me baffled. To start my JD F-525, the brake must be set and the (electric) PTO must be off. The unit starts, but as soon as I disengage the brake it shuts down. Again, if it's running, and I engage the PTO, it quits. I think it must be a part of the safety circuit. I've checked out the brake switch and seat switch. I've looked for a wire that might have fallen off. When I last put the mower away (just a week ago) it was working fine. It has to be electrical, because as soon as I push down the brake peddle or release the PTO, it catches and starts running again (as long as the engine hasn't stop spinning). I don't think that anything is bound up, because the engine doesn't abruptly stop. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
