The mower starts, but when you let the clutch out it dies. What could be the problem?

there's a safety switch in the seat that kills the motor if you fall off while in gear. I'd check this first.

With the tractor off, try to turn the pulleys - both on the transmission and deck. This is to check and make sure theres no stuck belts ( due to rust) or frozen deck spindles/transmission.
If those are fine, as suggested, could be a saftey switch.
Check the foot clutch switch, and the reverse sensor.
If the seat sensor was bad- it wouldnt start.

There is a "Safety Switch" on the clutch that is most likely the problem. If you have a warranty on the machine, have a Sears technician come out and repair it for you. If you have no warranty left, try unplugging the switch on the clutch linkage and see if that solves the problem.

Could be a pulley that is tied up. When you release the clutch, the belt engages but can not turn the pulley so the engine dies.

a million look on the person handbook 2 analyze if each thing you do Ping 3 wires if it is composed of four this is already puzzling, it demands a grasp or could attempt to look very heavily however the engine working or the engine itself

a safety switch is causing this like in the seat or in the blade engagement or in the ignition you must put the switch in the backup mode or when you put it in reverse it will die.
