Hi all!

I'm completely new to this site.

I'm sure there must be someone on here who can help me with my problem !!

here goes..

I have a Euro Pro 1238GR ride on mower by John Deere (12.5bhp B&S Engine)

My problem is with driving the thing.

I have fitted a new battery and the mower starts up and runs fine, but when i come to put it in gear as soon as i shift the lever to 1 2 3 4 or 5 the mower cuts out.

Its asif im not sat on the seat or something??

Does anyone know what this could be?

I release the Parking brake sit on the seat and put it in gear and it cuts out.

ANY HELP WILL BE MASSIVELY APPRECIATEEDDD

Thanks in advance

James
