Engine starts and runs fine but when the mower is engaged the engine shuts down.

First thing that came to mind was a safety switch somewhere... not sure which one, maybe a seat switch expecting you to be sitting down or ??

The free parts book on the JD web site shows every safety switch. Check each one.

G'day Mate and welcome to TBN from Downunder.

Without enough information I would hazard a guess that something is preventing one or both of the mower blades from engaging/spinning. It's like running over something or a particularly thick patch of growth... the mower 'bogs down' and shuts the engine own.

Inspect your blades underneath. Something may be wrapped around them.
