Craftsman riding mower that shuts off when you put the blades up?
If you are saying that the mower shuts off when you engage the blades (or put the lever for the blades in the up position) then the most common problem is a bad seat safety switch. This is located under the seat. It has two wires going to it.

Craftsman riding mower stalls when blades engaged?
Clean/replace spark plug and air filter. If problem persists, open needle valve 1/8 of a turn for a slighlty richer mixture, Something else to check. Some riding mowers have a sensor switch that will not allow the blades to engage unless the clutch is depressed. The switch may be faulty. Not sure exactly where it is located, but since it is activated by the clutch pedal, I figure that is the place to start.

What engages the blade when you pull the engagement lever on a riding lawnmower?
Most lawn tractors don't have any fancy clutch system, but simply use the belt to engage and disengage the blades. When the blades are disengaged, the drive belt is slack and there isn't enough friction to the pullel to drive the blades. When engaged, the belt is taught and the belt drives the blades. Tension is controlled by a spring loaded pulley. When you pull the lever to disengage the blades, you pull this pulley away from the belt. When you engage the blade, the spring pushed the pulley into the belt, tensioning it.
