I have a 52" Toro Commercial walk-behind mower, model 30297 with a Kawasaki engine. The blades will engage just fine, but then when I push the control bars forward to move, they disengage. I can sometimes manage a very slow movement forward with them on, but any amount of strain will kick them off. I have replaced the PTO switch, fuses are fine, and just replaced the ignition switch as well. Any ideas will be helpful, thanks!

There is a operator presence switch on the bar your pushing it needs to be replaced.

Check the op switch whatever is suppose to hold it down isn't doing its job.
