Why does a mower shut off when the blades get engaged?
Possibly a bad switch under the seat. This is a safety feature that kills the motor if you overturn the mower. Unless the seat switch is made, the motor will not run with the blades engaged. There is also a switch on the blade engagement mechanism so the mower "knows" when they are engaged.
How do you know when riding mower deck spindles are bad?
Normally you will start to hear a loud grumbling sound from underneath the mower when the blades are engaged. With the mower shut off, release the tension from the belt for the blades. Raise the deck so you can grab the blades from the bottom. You should not be able to rock the blades from side to side or up and down. If you can then you probably have a bad spindle. You can do this for wach of the spindles to check them all.

The seat safety switch is not working properly correctly. If the safety does not sense that there is anyone on the seat then it will shut down the mower. This keeps the mower from running over someone if they would happen to fall off while mowing. Or if the safety is working you may have bad bearings on your deck and that will also stall your motor, or something jammed in the blades.
