Eddie, Usually this is caused by the safety switch wires coming loose under the seat. Tip the seat up and find the wires going into the bottom of the seat. Unhook the wire connector and then reinstall it.
Also, The tractor forward/reverse lever or foot pedal can't be in reverse when you go to start the deck.
Here's my info - Model: GTH24V52 Product number: 960430135
ToolBoxHero - that's what I thought too, at first. I checked the safety wires and all is in place, though. Also, this happens much quicker than the safety cut-off. It's as if the drive for the mower catches and forces the engine to immediately shut off...

Eddie, All it can be very be mower deck problem.
After the safety switches are checked try removing the deck drive belt. You may have either a jammed deck or a spindle bearing failure. By removing the drive belt you would be able determine if it a mechanical or electrical problem.
Electrical part> As dying only in when PTO electrically engage only the seat and the reverse switches are in that part of that circuit. There also could be a short in the wiring itself grounding the circuit. Other than that a shorted PTO clutch could draining so power that fuel shut solenoid is killing the engine. Disconnecting the electrical connector for PTO would eliminate it from the circuit for testing. Note: electrically these PTO coils usually ohm out to around 2 ohms as they pull around 6 amps.
If none of the above is causing the problem then you are probably having engine problems as such carburetor that has partially clogged main jet. Without a load on the engine it is mainly running off the idle circuits in the carburetor then as a load is applied it start pulling fuel through the main jet.
There is other things engine involved that cause a shutdown like this but we need to get by the simple stuff first.
Answer
Please post you model number and the product number from the serial number tag so someone can look-up your mower wiring diagram.
