Dad's JD 425 lawn tractor (I use it for my lawn too) has been stumbling on & off every now & then for the last year. It would recover and be fine the rest of the time cutting. The last 2 weeks it was getting worse, and then to the point where it would run 10-15 minutes and quit. Had to let it cool down and then it's do the same thing.
Asked over on the L&G board, and then did some looking in the archives, and got cued into the $20 part that turned out to actually be the problem. Was a TDM (Time Delay Module) that's job is to let it run 5 seconds after you turn the key off. Apparantly a very common problem with the 425/445/455 tractors.
Replaced it yesterday while it was raining outside, and then was able to finish cutting my lawn today. Ran better than it has in a while, and all because a $20 part was going bad...
