More than likely it is a blown fuse that supplies power to your fuel shut off solonoid. Check all your fuses.
Typical symptom of the fuel shut off solenoid issue. If the fuses are OK it may be the delay relay or the solenoid itself.
Did you just power wash the engine? The shut off components seem to be especially sensitive to water.

Thanks I will look at that tomorrow. It worked fine today. What really has me stumeped is it doesn't do it all the time. I have been plowing snow with it every day for 2 weeks getting tired of snow plowing.
The fuse can't be blown if it is an intermittent problem. Check it anyway since the fuse contacts could be corroded if they salt your snow.
The solenoid should have a connector to it that routes to the delay relay. Next time it doesn't shut off you may want to disconnect the wire at the connector. If that shuts off the engine then it is the relay. If not, then it is the solenoid. Neither are cheap to replace.
It could be something as simple as the fuel shut off lever on the solenoid is hanging up or debris is keeping it from actuating.
How do you shut it off when it won't do it by the key?
Or, you could just let it run and plow snow 24/7. There seems to be enough of it in your area. Your neighbors would be appreciative.
If the tractor won't shut off, because of fuel shut off problem, use the fuel shut off lever on the injector pump. There are two levers on the pump. One is connected to the throttle and the other is hooked up to nothing. That is the shut off lever. Just push the lever and the engine will stop. Then release and it can be started as usual.

I love it when things fix themselves. I wasn't able to figure out why it wasn't shutting off before it started to work again. I have used many times since it first stated to give me trouble and it has shut off every time so I am stumped until it happens again.
The update on the condition would seem to indicate a water or condensation problem.
Washing the engine could have caused it but in your area the temps get cold and going from a warm enviornment (garage) to the cold could cause the problem.
Given the symptoms it will likely happen again and then you can nail down what it is.
