Lawn tractor runs great,has 90 hours on it.Removed mower deck to clean and sharpen the 3 blades (48 inch) then reinstalled and tractor will not move anymore
Did you knock the drive belt off?did you pull the lever that allows you to push it when not running?

If it has a clutch, that would be the problem. An electric clutch will kick on and off when it is hot if it is bad.

You should price a new wiring harness,around $80 so there is not much reason to spend a lot of time trying to find shorts or open wiring.

Park brake switch is the most likely culprit,any other would cause the tractor to not turn over in the crank position.
SOURCE: Why isn't the center blade on a john deere LX178
Of course with everything off, reach under the deck and turn the center blade by hand. If:
1. the blade turns by itself and nothing else moves, you need to tighten the retaining bolt more.
2. the blade, retaining bolt and drive shaft turn, check to see if the pulley above it is turning.
a. If the pulley turns freely check that the drive belt is going around it to power the blade.
b. If the blade turns with the drive shaft and the pulley doesn't, check that the pulley is still properly connected to the blade shaft. Some have a key in them that can split, others just have a bolt on top holding them tightly on the shaft.
