It may be the wiring going to the electric clutch.

Sure sounds like a wiring problem.
Did you happen to check the wiring - from mower to clutch - when you installed a new clutch to blades (beginning to end)?

You might try starting after dark to see if you see a flash somewhere (might need a second person to help).
Was this the reason you replaced all those parts?

I think you should go back to the store where parts were purchased and ask someone in their maintenance department to help you.
Otherwise I would suggest you visit a farm supply store and see if someone there can help you.

According to this article, the PTO clutch may be faulty. It cannot be repaired. It must be replaced. www.repairclinic.com/.../Lawn-mower-blades-won-t-engage

This can happen if your mower belt is stretched or broken. Is your belt spinning?

I have a John Deere D110 lawn tractor. Today I went out, made one short pass, shut off the blades at the driveway, turned around to go back and when I engaged the blades the machine shut off. I can start it right back up, but once I try to engage the blades, it shuts off. I will call the dealer tomorrow, but wondered if anyone had any ideas? Thank you.

Turn your mower off and check how the blades turn underneath the deck. Any obstruction, damaged pulley shaft, or seized pulley can be the cause of that. Check your belt and make sure it is properly routed and that it does not hang up at the belt guides.

Remove the pulley covers from the top of the deck, and check to make sure that he belt and pulleys are properly functioning.
