Any John Deere experts? Or someone who can diagnose a riding mower problem?

Nothing personal just some friendly tractor ribbing to brighten up everyone's day! I would never knock anything free. Thats a win win all the time.

Just buy it and tell her you got it on SALE, that is the response I am expected to accept when I notice new items at my house.

Track the plug wire back to its origination point. If you engine has an externally mounted coil that would be it. If the wire goes in the engine it is a different set up. Might be a Mag style ignition and in or under the flywheel.
Take a pic of the engine and shoot it to me when you get a chance.

It's probably under the shroud...im guessing it's a 14hp Kawasaki. (I happen to own 2 of them.)

Did INGO garage help you get your mower running

Just wondering what your outcome was?

I was out of the country for vacation when I asked, and did not work on it when I returned. I am now out of town for training and will work on it Saturday when I get home. I have great info on what it could be and how to fix it thanks to INGO. Thanks for inquiring.

Just to give you something else to check.
I had a mower that had rust in the rubber fuel line blocking it.
It would run & die like you are talking about.

Is there a low oil-pressure shut-down on the engine? If so it could be related to that... I'm just trying to think of things that would be related to throttle position or engine rpm and oil-pressure definitely could vary with rpm.

I have no idea, but I'll check the manual when I get back to home base on Friday.

I can't win. I got home from training and got the mower running. Drove it from the back of the garage to the driveway and now I can't get it out of gear. And the mower won't start when it is in gear, even if the clutch is pushed in. I'm going to call a JD dealer tomorrow and see if transmission rebuild kits are available and how much they cost. The odds of buying a new mower just went up.
