Riding mower starts fine, but dies when I try to drive forward or backward
"I have a Craftsman LT1000 riding lawn mower, 17.5 hp 42' cut. It is about five to seven years old. It starts normally, but dies when I try to drive forward or backward, or when I try to engage the mowing deck. It dies immediately, indicating to me, that it might be a safety switch. But I am not very familiar with the switches on this model. Other than the seat switch, which I have checked, and is not causing the problem. Does anyone know the exact location of a safety switch that may be causing the problem? Thanks in advance for anyone who may be of help."

Ha! It was the seat switch after all. Mower is running fine now. Thank you for your help and suggestions. It is much appreciated.
