usually the only safety is the engine shut down control cable that is attached to a smaller handle on the main handle that you must hold to have the mower to start and run part number for the cable is 946-0957
One of your hydro pumps are seized. this is causing the engine to stall when ever the torque is transferred to the pump. There are the small pumps (or final drives) under the engine. One or both need to be replaced
The small metal peice is the engagment pawl, it sits into the plastic pulley, if it has come out the pulley will probably be damaged as well, you will need to remove the pulley securing screw and big washer, you should now see the slot in the pulley where the pawl sits.
I'll tell you what I did to a cable like that on an old mower of mine, if you promise not to laugh at an old ****. I cut my cable shorter and fashioned a little bushing out of some small weedeater fuel line, so the edge of the hole on the lever wouldn't wear on the cable, and crimped a small cable clamp in the position I wanted and was back in action. Hope this helped, don't laugh, and best wishes.
