    Troy-Bilt riding mower quits
    My 1997 troy-bilt mower quits running when I disengage the break and/or engage the mower.

    I've been told it was a safety switch.

    Any tips..

    Yes it sounds like a safety switch, you can go about getting around it by taking the kill switch off the ignition coil, but I would get it fixed, safety switch's are there for a reason.
