Why does the starter stay engaged on ford 460 motorhome?

If your starter stays engaged it is either your stater relay (solenoid) or your ignition switch.It is usually the relay,either mounted on your inner fender(earlier system)or on the starter itself.Follow the positive cable (red) from your battery,if it goes directly to your starter it is the later system.To test disconnect the ignition wire on the relay,the small gauge wire.If there is 2 small wires on the fender mounted relay you can disconnect them both if your not sure witch is ignition wire.Leave the 2 large wires connected.If it still is turning over it is your relay,if it stopped it is your ignition.If you have the stater mounted relay remove the small wire from the "S" terminal,and repeat as above.

On a 91 ford explorer the question is why would the starter not only stay engaged to the flywheel after the engine has started but keeps running even after the key and engine have been turned off?

The 1991 Ford Explorer should have a separate starter relay that sends power to the starter. It sounds like the relay has stuck and is sending power to the starter even after the vehicle is running.

What causes you starter on a riding lawn mower to stay engaged after shutting off the key?

Sounds like a bad ignition switch. It could also be a bad starter solenoid. If you can find the solenoid you can unplug one of the small wires while it is trying to crank over and see if it stops. If it does it is probably the switch. If it doesn't then it is probably the solenoid.
