Hello, I'm new here and need some help. Have been reading here for a couple weeks now. My issue is when you engage the pto it kills the engine. I have replaced the pto switch, seat switch, brake switch and reverse awareness switch. I have also replaced the stop relay and timer stop relay and all the fuses. When I engage the pto the stop solenoid is killing the engine. I currently have the deck off and clutch unplugged and still kills engine. I don't know what else to replace at this point.
TG 1860 engine dying when pto is engaged

I have checked every connection for loose wires and have found nothing. I also feared that I got a faulty new part. Is there any way the ignition can cause this? I've just been going through everything on the electrical schematic that connects to the safety system
What happens if the seat is tilted forward when you turn the PTO on, does it still kill the engine?
I am going to guess and assume ( that's a risky thing to be doing) that the kill solenoid needs to be powered for the engine to run. That being stated, you need to get a multi meter and start checking continuity at each switch to see if it is functioning properly, ( open or closed at the proper time).
You could also, once the engine dies, use a test light to check where you are loosing power on that circuit. Start at the key switch and check each connection at each switch and follow the circuit until you no longer have power. Without seeing the actual schematic or knowing the machine this a good guess in what to do.
Be systematic and verify each step before moving on to the next step. Assume nothing, verify everything.
It could be a dirty connection, a switch out of adjustment, a broken wire or possibly a bad switch.
hope this helps.
