Just bought this bad boy at an auction. I have acreage to mow and it more than gets the job done. I changed oil, plugs, lubed, checked hydraulic fluid, slimed the rear tires, and ran some cleaner through the fuel system. Has 800 hours in it. Anything else I need to do? I also have one minor issue with it. Starts fine, let it warm up, but if I release brake or try to move arms in it will die. After several attempts it will finally go. Any thoughts? Thanks!
 
Sounds like a seat switch issue. Releasing the brake while off the mower will kill it. You can test this by jumping the seat switch to see if it solves your problem.
