On the flange in front of the rear tire are the pull handles for disengaging the hydrostat motors. If the are pulled forward and dropped in lock position, you'll have no movement either direction. That's the only thing that will stop motion of these units. They're on both sides, in front of the rear tires, up close to the frame and are just small hard wires bent down to get hold of and pull out and drop down in lock to disengage. Push them up from lock position and push them in. I cant understand how they would have just come out while mowing, never happened to me. You pull the tabs out and lock only to move the unit when not running.

I hope this will help you...under the side panels on each side of the mower, there are "reverse lockout safety switches", they are supposed to stop the blades when both handles are pulled back. If one or both of the switches are out, the deck will not engage. Also, under the right side panel (when sitting on seat) there should be 3 relay switches, the one closest to the motor controls the PTO., if this is out, the PTO will not engage.
