When engaging mower deck on a Craftsman riding it kills the engine?

There are a few potential causes for this issue:

* Low oil level: Check the oil level in your lawnmower. If it is low, add oil until it reaches the full mark on the dipstick.

* Dirty air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, causing it to stall. Clean or replace the air filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.

* Spark plug issues: A faulty or dirty spark plug can also cause the engine to stall. Check the spark plug and replace it if it is damaged or worn.

* Fuel problems: If there is not enough fuel in the lawnmower, or if the fuel is old or stale, it can cause the engine to stall. Check the fuel level and add fuel if necessary. If the fuel is old, drain it and replace it with fresh fuel.

* Drive belt issues: If the drive belt that engages the mower deck is loose or damaged, it can slip or break, causing the engine to stall. Check the drive belt and adjust or replace it if necessary.

If you have checked all of these things and the problem still persists, you may need to take your lawnmower to a qualified repair technician.
