Model number would help come up with a solution, so we know what we are discussing. Does it die when you release the brake pedal, or die when you try to move the mower.

Check the seat safety switch. Sounds iike it came unplugged.

Seat switch is plugged in

Your symptoms sound like a safety switch problem. Your going to have to check the wires, looking for a short or break.
