Mend Sears 917 Lawn Tractor Engine

Looking for troublshooter SearsLawn Tractor MODEL 917 on but cuts out in g?

19.5 hp. Need Troubleshooter guide. Can't find one on the net. Manual doesn't even address the problem. This tractor has had chronic problems. I had the Sears repair guy here three times last year. Close to $100 a visit. The symptom: starts and engine runs but when put in gear stalls/cuts out. First time it was safety switch under seat. Second time the rod that allows it to be pushed was in but there was something jammed. It took him 3 minutes to ID the problem and fix it. I need to know wht he knows w/o $100 visits.

If the engine is cutting out, I would first make sure nothing is binding the belts. Make sure pullys spinn freely. do this by removing the belts and turning pully. Next re-check the safety switches. I would even try disconnecting them and running the tractor. I will do a little checking for a trouble shooting guide.
