Either a bad battery, a bad stator, (it's like an alternator for small engines) or a short in the wiring somewhere.

Sears Tractor runs only with jumper cables attached to a good battery After disconnecting the cables the tractor engins within seconds It's a 17 Hp Kohler engin on a Sears 42 mower tractor?
If the tractor had a battery in it when you were jumping it, there is a chance that the battery is bad. Try unhooking the tractors battery and trying again. Hook your jumper cables to the battery cables themselves without being attached to the battery. If it runs then just replace the battery. A battery with a short in it will keep the mower from charging and could cause it to die. If there was no battery in the tractor when you were jumping it, then the tractor is not charging and will have to be diagnosed as to what the problem is.

Connect the unconnected end of the cable that is connected to the starter motor to the "+" or "pos" battery post. 4.
