Do you think it might be a safety switch? How many safety switches are there? I also tried to engage the blades while the clutch was depressed, that killed the motor also. It has been sitting all winter. It worked fine last year when I put it up.

I’ve drained the oil and removed the bolts (of course) and the cover came off the gasket, but wont move more than about 1.5 inches off the blade shaft. I pull really hard but it just stops suddenly like it wasn’t meant to be removed. I can’t see anything that would hold it on there. Help?
It just says Craftsman on the engine cover so I thought they made it, but I noticed it has a Tecumseh carburettor.
Just saw a tiny little logo on the engine itself - it is a Tecumseh

I have a Craftsman riding lawnmower 16.5 that starts right up, but when you put it in gear it dies?
