My Boomer 3050 is acting weird

[Artisticdot21]

So it starts but as soon as I put it in gear whether it's high, med, or low, the engine just quits. not sure where to start looking. Any ideas or similar experiences out there? Appreciate any help!

This sounds like a seat safety switch issue especially if the engine just quits when it thinks no one's seated or something. If not then it might be a fault in the neutral safety switch. What you need to do is to check the wiring harness if there are loose connections. OBD is still handy.

I have to agree with @Daniel D., it's almost always a safety switch.
On a lot of these compact tractors, you have a clutch switch and a seat switch that kill the engine if certain conditions aren't met.
In your case, it seems to be an issue with the clutch pedal switch.
If the switch is out of alignment or faulty, the tractor thinks the clutch is not fully depressed when you try to put it in gear, so it kills the engine.
It's a safety feature to prevent it from lurching forward.
Try checking the wiring and the position of the switch on the clutch pedal.
It's usually a pretty simple fix, sometimes just a little adjustment is all it takes.

Also look at your wiring harness and connectors too in addition to all these

Yeah, it might be the seat switch, PTO safety, or clutch sensor. I'd check the seat switch and neutral first. Sometimes a loose, dirty, or off-center part causes the engine to shut down. Then, give the connections and interlocks a good look to see if anything's bad.

I've had mine act up after a few rough days in wet fields too. Now it stalls when I try to shift. Could the clutch switch get knocked loose from all the bouncing around?
