cutter wont keep cutting

Hi i have a small white/MTD lawn tractor that works pretty swell untill about a month ago. It seems that i have to hold on to the cutter switch as i am cutting and it wont continue to cut the way it used to.

Is it a simple fix or should i take it to a professional to get it looked at.

I am good with working with this type of machinery but i have no idea if its electrical or if its mechanical

TIA

I take it its an electric clutch that activates the deck- not a lever you drop - any 12 volt 2 position switch should work - they have em at auto parts stores.
