Hello:
I have a JD345 mower, V2 20 HP engine, 54" mower deck, powerflow attachment, about 330 hours on it. The engine starts fine, but it will stop running when I take off in forward or reverse, unless I quickly press in the brake pedal - then it returns to idle and runs good. But it will kill again if I take off in forward or reverse.
I also noticed that the freewheeling rod/lever only locks the tractor from going in reverse, but not forward (when manually pushing the tractor). I believe that the freewheeling rod use to lock the tractor from moving in forward or reverse when trying to manually push the tractor.
I suspect there is some damage to the transmission, the wet-disc brake system in the transmission, or maybe the brake pedal/free wheeling rod linkage system?
Appreciate any help/suggestions to what is the problem
Thanks, Jim
