I had a JD 3010 that did this same thing.If you didn't get it running on that first go it was back to the house and wait 1/2 a day. Problem was it was flooding. Discovered this by quickly pulling a couple of plugs when it died.
They were dripping fuel. I went through the carb twice. Not much better. Finally bit the bullet and sent the carb off to one of the better JD builders in the U.S.
Absolutely new machine after that.
I'd bet you are flooding too. Imagine you are never choking this beast.Pull a plug the next time it won't start and look for fuel.If they are wet, you have a carb problem, more serious than floatlevel. An open or clogged pasage somewhere.
Or just send the carb off to Rusty Farmall for a rebuild and get rid of the problem quickly.
