I have a Craftsman garden tractor with a 54 inch mower deck - model 917.28749. The engine runs fine, but it stalls whenever I engage the drive (all speeds) or engage the mower. If I release the brake quickly I can get it to lurch forward a foot or two, but it still stalls. What should I look for?

I had the same problem with my LT 1000 Craftsman riding mower. I tried everything I could think of. What finally worked for me was a new gas cap AND a new fuel solenoid located on the bottom of the carb bowl. No more problems. I don't really think the new cap fixed it but wrote that in anyway. The old fuel solenoid saw a little sticky when pressing down on the valve on top of it. Hope this helps you. It did me.
I had this issue on my Craftsman riding mower it was a relay switch. I had a scrap rider that I took the relay off and the problem was fixed.
