I have changed battery, ignition switch, selinod and battery cables - still nothing. I must jump the battery off to start every time.
At the same time the PTO/Electric Clutch began disengaging after about ten minutes.
Any suggestions - I hate to just dispose of this mower as it is only a couple years old?
Get an accredited mower repair shop to check the charging circuit

Check safety switches especially the seat switch.

you may hav a bad alt. problem with the mower dying when you engage the pto is most likley a bad sensor or wire unplugged on the seat sensor.the way it works is if the blades are turning and it dosent sense you being on the seat the mower shuts down.this has been standard on mowers for quite a few years now. it keeps the blades from cutting you up if you fall off the seat while mowing. as for charging i would try cleaning the battery connections and get the battery checked first.

Sounds like the shear bolt is broken, Do you have and owners manual to show you the location of shear bolt? They are easily replaced.
