Check the main drive belt, and the linkages from the brake clutch pedal to the pulley that tensions the belt. If you do not find anything there, then remove the back panel, jack up the mower, and turn the transaxle pulley by hand to see if the wheels turn, make sure it is gear.

If you are lucky, it will be a slipped belt or broken belt. I hope this helps get you going.

Craftsman DYS 4500. Mower was running, then stopped. Can't restart; oil very low

There are cam rods in the front of the engine. Sometimes, one may break. Open the cover to check. Of course keep sufficient oil in the crankcase, but if it stopped while you were running it, I don't think that is the problem.

Runs but blades wont activate

The drive belt on my YS 4500 keeps coming off. You need to put it back on, by hand, if it's not too hot. You just need to find the route of the belt.
