There should be a PTO lever on the right side. Slide back to disengage.

Sounds like a worn drive belt to the transmission.

there is a short somewhere in the wireing you just have to back probe.

I had a similar problem with my TroyBilt 50 inch zero turn mower. Was cutting grass when it stopped going either forward or backward even though it would start and the PTO would move the cutting blades. Turned out the tensioner spring for the belt that drives the motors near the rear wheels had gone missing. Searched the yard where I had cut and moved the machine but couldn't find it. A new one cost me about $7.50. Put the new one on and it worked fine.

It would be very unusual to be stuck in gear, i think it more likly the brake is stuck or seized on, check the small disc brake on the side of the gearbox, the arm should have plenty of free play, if not adjust the nut on the outside anti clockwise, this should pull the pads away from the disc.

check the belt tensioner
