Thanks for the reply!

Yes, it's not an engine thing and is definately an electrical thing.
The engine runs great - until I disengage the brake or engage the PTO.

It does seem that something is grounding out the ignition when I let
the brake go. I can not figure out what this could be though. I have
checked the seat safety switch which I thought was the most obvious.
What other switch is in the way of simply running the tractor?
