    Who ever fixed what might have a wire wrong. (Blown fuse) starter ignition wire may be getting shorted or to hot . A bad ign. Switch ( the key part)can cause the same problem you have. Check back of Ign. Switch and look for melted or burnt also smell switch for a hot smell. I suspect the switch because when you sut it off and if its not really shutting off, it will drain the battery 'power drain"
    See if that 15 amp fuse is from ign wires or to solenoid and starter wire. Look for a pinched wire or a cracked or bare wire. Check these things. What did the shop do or fix that would be a GREAT help here maybe for info detail

    But that how all things break Just start up a car and drive out the driveway. One day I started the dump and turned the switch and all mt ignition wires melted with switch.

    I still didn't hear about "got mower fixed put in new battery" What was "fixed" What was "I put all New wiring on it" Why and what got all new wiring? Was the 'All new wiring the right gauger to match old? If not a new under Gage wire took some time to run hot and then got weaker and drew more amps (fuse blown) Or wire insulation was slowly cooked of and now a dead short> (fuse blown) To help you more I need more detailed info please>
