On my Craftsman Riding Lawn Mower the engine stalls after say about 10 minutes - I leave it for say 5 or 10 mins and I can start it again. I changed the sparkplug and it's not bad gas as my other mower works fine with the same gas.

The problem is more than likely the coil. The coil is nothing more than a coil of copper wire. When the coil gets hot the wire expands causing the coil to open or lose connection. When it loses connection then the spark plug quits firing.

My lawn tractor craftsman 14.5hp IC OHV B&S stalls approx. 5 mins after starting so I restart and it can stall in another 10-15 min again and so on.

you may have some debris in your gas tank blocking the pickup tube. It will float away when the mower dies, then block the tube after it runs again.

Craftsman lawn tractor model no.917.289101 stalls out

Stall or quits? Will it run 15 minutes again after it cools down. Check
carb bowl for water. Loosen the bottom screw a little until gas come out and water will "roll" off the gas that drops out on the deck.

Tractor will shut down and will not start up again

Three things, replace air filter, replace fuel filter, and take carb off and clean it out, could have sediment in jets or float is sticking causing not enough gas to run through stalling out motor.
