Blades won't disengage.
If this is a riding mower, then check the cable tension around the belt. I have a craftsman and when I take the deck off for the winter, there is cable under there that controls the blades from going. You can follow the cable down to the blades it usually is under the hood. When you are on the bottom have someone control the lever and see if it tightens and loosens the belt (do not have the mower running!). A axel should move to tighten the belt to turn the blades and when you pull the lever to stop the blades the axel should move to loosen the belt. Hope this helps.
Oh from there the cable could be snapped, which is a 35 to 65 dollar part. Also could be the axel itself has something faulty where it doesn't move.
