    JD 212 dies when blades are engaged
    We have a JD 212 garden tractor. When you engage the blades the mower will die. Can anyone help try to explain what may be causing this problem? Jensallen.. we looked over the info you sent and found that the reason it wouldn't start was because of the carborator. Thank you so much for your help.. we now just need to figure out why it dies when we engage the blades. Any advice? Thanks

    Not sure of all the details here. But the dying could be caused by the carb, the governor, fuel supply, or head gasket, there are numerous possibilities.
