SOURCE: Honda Harmony mower, self propelled hydrostatic,
If i remember correctly, under each drive wheel, there is a small gear, and under each gear there is a small metal rod that is what the transmission uses to propel the mower...it sounds like the rods either have dirt on them or they are just stuck and can not move to allow you to pull it backwards
SOURCE: the wheels lock up when i pull my lawnmower backwards
if you hold the clutch down to shift the gears after you release it if it doesn't move in reverse you have a gearbox problem and the easiest way would be to take it to a shop to have them fix it, it may not be too cheap but it is cheaper than getting the parts taking it apart and not being able to put it back together right. if you try to fix it yourself you could really mess it up and then it would end up costing you more than it would have to have just taken to the shop to start with.
SOURCE: What is causing slipping of rear right wheel on
most likely the gears that are inside the wheel hubs.

don't mow wet grass its vary hard on the engine, try checking the upper pulley on the trany. this pulley is not replaceble. the trany on that mower is repairble.also check the drive belt on the engine side. see if it came off.

If the cable is over-tightened it will lock up when going backwards. Does the mower try to pull itself when it is first started? If you pick up the back end while the engine is running (only use the handles... do NOT try to lift up on the deck with the blade moving, this can cut off your fingers) are the wheels turning with out you engaging the self propel?
