Look for a malfunctioning safety interlock switch.

Most riding mowers require a riders presence on the seat for implement operation.

Did 185 Allis-Chalmers have live PTO?

The 185 had a live PTO in that the tractor's movement could be stopped with the PTO remaining engaged through the powerdirector clutch (this was the tractor's 2 speed, shift on the go, set up). However, if you pushed the foot clutch in, the PTO would lose power along with the forward motion of the tractor stopping. Also, the 185 was available with a hydraulically engaged PTO clutch, which would allow the PTO to be engaged while the tractor is moving, where the mechanically engaged PTO required the foot clutch be depressed, the tractor be brought to a stop, then the PTO engaged and the foot clutch reengaged. It was "live" per definition, but not "independent."

When i start my craftsman lawn mower it runs time but when the clutch is engaged it dies.?

Your clutch has to be engaged when you start your mower or at least my craftsman mower does. If it dies when you release the clutch pedal, it is due to the engine shutoff relay which is wired to the electric clutch. There are 2 wires on the lower left side of the mower that run along the inside of the frame to the clutch. These wires run just above the mower deck belts and connect to the top of clutch. They are so close that sometimes they get entangled with the deck belts causing them to be torn loose or rub the insulation off and expose the bare wire (which will cause it to ground out if it comes in contact with metal). You need to find and inspect these two wires all the way from the clutch to the point they come up through a hole in the frame floor that the engine is bolted to.
