JD450 crawler shuts off when pulling on left steering

my jd450 crawler will shut off if I pull on the left steering arm too hard. I can pull it slightly and it will turn slowly but if you keep pulling machine will turn off. Any ideas of what's going on?

    Check the steering clutch linkage to see if it's pinching a fuel line or snagging the throttle linkage.

    Will check this in the AM, it starts right back up after this happens so if it is pinching on something it doesn't last after being shut down. Any other suggestions after I check this? Anything that needs adjusting?
