GT275 Issue

[snpower]

After 15 or so minutes of use the PTO disengages. I re-engage, and after 30 seconds to a minute the engine dies. It will restart but any attempt to drive forward, backwards, or to engage the PTO results in the engine dying. After waiting a period of time, it will start and I can engage the PTO. However, the machine will only crawl forward at a very low speed and it will not move at all in reverse even though I hear the hydro static whine. Hydro dipstick indicates a proper fill level.

Upon further investigation the transmission release lever (improper term probably) does not want to move very far when I tug on it. After pushing the machine forward a bit the lever does release and travel speed is restored. I probably need to take off the right rear wheel and determine why that lever seems to want to bind up?

Let us know what you find out. tks

Seems seat switchish. Or possibly debris / something funky @ the reverse sensing switch at the transaxle.

I did bypass the seat switch, as I was thinking the same thing...
