It may think you are in reverse and is killing the motor to keep you from backing up with the blade running. Look for switch that is telling it when you are in reverse, maybe it is stuck with grass or other debris. another possibility is that the blades are jammed and they are stalliing the motor. Mines stalls easily when cold.

Hi..my name is Keith..and it sounds like the neutral rod on the back of the mower needs to come out further to fully disengage the transmission so you can roll it..it should have an adjusting nut on the rod..and i would turn the nut in a couple of turns until the lawn mower will roll..i hope this will help..if not please write me back

yes it is a bad belt unless it is a hydro-stat(no clutch) you need to look under the mower and see if the belt is on correctly

cut the wires running to the switch...try again...if same, stripp back wires, and twist together...wrap in tape or use some sort of connector...it's electric and should be treated as such...try again...still ?? Start finding those switches and repeat the process til it works...theres usually 3 or 4...
Testimonial: "Haven't tried the suggested solution but makes sense."
SOURCE: Drive wheels won't freewheel when pulling mower backwards,
pull off what looks like hub caps and check the wheel clutches
