clutch doesn't engage

clutch doesn't engage...it made a loud "thunk" sound and just quit! A very hot-to- the-touch washer and nut was found under the mower. Now the engine will start and idle...but won't allow the clutch to engage in any gear! HELP!

Hi what mower is this on?

Additional info...it is a MTD-YardMan mower...just discover the bolt came out of a pulley that loosened which caused the bands to come off. Now trying to figure out how to put the bands back on.

Additional info on the bands on the MTD-Yardman mower...it's a 42 inch deck, and we're tying to figure out how to put the bands back on the pulley assembly that the main belt fell out of.

I am confused. What "bands" are you referring to? I was thinking you meant the belts, but at the end of your post you said "main belt fell out".
I take it that your machine does not have an electric clutch?

Are you talking about the pulley in the center of the mower that two belts go on?
One from the engine and one from the rearend.
You keep saying bands. I have never heard of a mower that had bands.
