See if you can turn the shaft easily. If you can't, just buy a new motor. It's bearings are seizing up.
If the motor spins okay, the start/run capacitor may need replacing. You can spray the motor and junk with WD40 to clean it. The last motor I have that smoked in a vacuum cleaner self destructed in less than a minute. The tech told me it would. Smoking is extreme overheating, or the windings have shorted internally. The best bet is replace the motor.
Sounds like you need a new one. A smoking electric motor is usually fried.
Those electric mowers do not last a long time as they are under a lot of stress when cutting tall and wet grass.
There are no brushes available for this model, if the brushes are worn that bad the motor will be just about worn out as well, new motors are available.
Check for debris caught under the deck. The motor may be getting ready to quit. The machine may need a replacement belt. Be careful and unplug the machine before checking.
