I have a Gravely Pro-Turn 160, Kawasaki FX730V. Today while my son was mowing, it just started stopping on him. It will crank right back up, but then stop again. I checked the oil level (it is good) and it has a full tank of fresh gas. Any input will be much appreciated, as we have to mow almost twice a week right now!

Have you checked your fuel filter?

Try running with the fuel cap a little loose and see if it keeps running. If it does the tank vent valve is stuck or bad.
Thanks for the suggestions. I have checked all of this, except for the after-fire solenoid. This is my next task. It only stops after the motor has been operating for 45-60 minutes, and once it sits and cools, it will run perfectly until it heats back up. When cranking after this event, I have to use full choke to get it to crank. It seems to me like some electrical component is heating up and failing.
Normally, those conditions are a clogged fuel delivery component or a failing ignition coil. If you require choke then fuel is at the top of your list. Long shot is the gas cap not venting.
How many hours on this engine.....

That sounds like the coil fine while cold but after heating up they will stop working.
