Check the seat switch. It is a safety that shuts off the mower if you got off it. I'm assuming that it shuts off regardless of you having the brake held down once you engage the blades.

John Deere STX38 Shuts engine off when Mower switch is engaged Why?

I would check the safeties. And I would start by checking the seat safety switch. They are usually a simple switch with two spade leads. You can use a cheap multimeter to test them. Use the ohms side and check for resistance. It should read infinity in one position and nearly no resistance (reading of one ohm) in the other. Some mowers have a deck engagement switch too that operates the same way. Another area to check is to pull the mower drive belt off to see if you have a clutch or deck spindle that is locked up or getting hard to turn.

I have a stx38 john deer lawn mower with a black deck and I can't get brakes to work properly. They seem like the are always on.

THere is an anjustment on the right side in the rear. 1/2" socket should fit. loosten the nut (it may have a pin through a castle shape) It is common for the break pins to stick. Worst case you may need to remove the two pins and lubricate them.
Good luck
