I am not sure if you are getting my e-mails.so here it is again.I bypassed the seat switch to hook it up direct.I found when mower is running and I look at the switch on the joystick and unplug the black wire I can pull the joystick up and mower acts like it wants to move but don't.I found to that when I engage the mower switch the mower dies to.I checked the clutch and it is working.I thought one of the switches on joystick or the one on that engages mower may be bad.but don't understand why it won't move when I lift joystick.hope this will give you a idea on the problem.thanks

Look at the plug going to seat switch , if it has an area in the middle of the two connectors that you can push in ,jumping a wire from will not work.

I hooked the seat switch back up and it still dies if I lift joystick ,but if I unplug the black wire on joystick switch it stays running when I lift the joystick but will not move very fast just inches its way forwards,I hope the transmission is not bad cause I will have to junk out this mower

I also want to ask,when I change the filter on the hydro oil for the transmission will it put air in lines and cause it to not run like it should till air gets out of lines?

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue.
