I would guess that the mower deck runs off an electric clutch. Those draw lots of amps, especially on start-up, but also when engaged.

You may have an electrical problem.

bad rectifier/regulator
stator not putting out enough juice, and probaly other potential issues I am not smart enough to know about

Search the "Garden Tractor" forum, there are posts there where people explain how to go about checking some possible electrical problems

They have the nasty little habit of turning loose of the valve seats.

The first thing I'd do is replace the air filter and fuel filter (if any).
