Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): John Deere Riding Mower Model L120 Auto, mower blade, safety switch

Question
John,

I am trying to figure out what is going on with this mower. Starts, engine runs great.  When you engage the mower blade, the engine dies.  Seems like I've tried everything.

Answer
Hello Gregg:

Have you Bypassed the Seat Safety Switch. From the Symptoms you Described, it Sounds like the Safety Switch Isn't Showing Anyone Sitting when the Blades are Engaged. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers L120 and Click Find. Then Select the Model in the Results Area. Then Select Sectional View. Hope this Helps. I am here if you require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
