The engine stop for no reason
While the tractor is working.
Seems like a common pblm for this model. How to fix this?

L3901 engine stop

I am pretty sure there is a reason the engine shut off.
One common cause is the operator seat switch.

Thx Dan.
Also...my parking break does not work 100% on hill. Easy to fix or I need to go to the dealer?? Thx

I have similar experience with the parking brake and use the loader/chocks as backup and/or park cross hill. I really dont trust a prake brake alone to hold the tractor on any substantial slope.
The parking brake is just a pedal latch and I assume you adjust pedal free play to make it tighter. WSM is your friend.

Press the brakes harder before latching the brake on.
I apply the brake latch with my foot (vs. bending over and using my hand). You can push the brake lever a little and as you apply the brakes, you can feel the clicks. Applying more pressure then set the brake - using your foot to engage helps (IMHO).
As for the engine cutting off, most likely you leaned over in a way so the safety switch did not think you were in the seat, so it cut the power.
