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.

Why does your yardman riding lawn mowers belts squeal and engine shuts off when blades are engaged?
More than likely you either have a bearing seized up in one of the deck spindles, a bent blade that is in a bind or debris on the underside of the deck keeping the blades from turning. If this is the first time it has been used in a long time, with the mower off, work the blades back and forth by hand until they move freely then start the mower and try to engage them. If they do not start to move freely then you will have to figure out which one is not turning and take it apart.

Where is the stop switch on a Briggs and Stratton mower engine?
If the mower has a shift knob control for "Start" "Run" and 'Stop', the kill switch will be on the end of the cable that leads to the throttle bracket. If the mower has the safety handle that shuts off the mower when it is not depressed, the kill switch will be at the end of the cable that leads from the handle to the engine. If the mower is operated with an on-off ignition switch, the kill switch wire will be spliced to the switch "off" wire some where between the throttle cable and the switch.

When the engine shuts off, remove the spark plug and unspect it. If there is fuel on the plug, the engine shuts off because of over flooding probably caused by a clogged air filter or faulty spark plug or may need a carburetor adjustment. If the spark plug is dry, the engine shuts off due to fuel starvation caused by a clogged fuel filter or may need carburetor adjustment.
