"If your engine dies when releasing clutch you have a safety witch that is either going bad or is bad. Test switches and see where that gets you. But for it not to move forward or backeards you should lookin to your transmission

So does it have a hydrostatic transmission?? If so change the fluid. And not with regular tranny fluid. Has to be hydrostatic fluid. Let me know please."

I have the same mower. Mines did that too so I took it to the shop. The mower is overheating. Its is black hard plastic thing up under the back of the mower. See my mower would run great and then all of a sudden stop. Wouldn’t go forward or backwards. Shut it off for 5 minutes and the mower goes right back to cutting and then it’ll happen again. Your mower is just overheating the engine

My husband is a small engine repair man he wants to know if it rolls when you push it if it does check where your release arm is to see if its releasing like it should

Sounds to me like the valves are out of adjustment or the coils are bad, try wrapping the plug wires with black electric tape, if it runs it will last a bit
