Hit a mud pile under deep grass and now mower won't start

[jmbrabec]

I bought my troy bilt tb230 about a month ago. I mowed the lawn and followed the instructions carefully and it worked great. On my 2nd time mowing everything worked great till I hit a wet ant bed and it shut my engine down and I could not get it started again. How can I fix this? What should I check and look for?

make sure the blade isn't bent. and yes dirt piles will bend todays thin blades. After that make sure you didn't shear the flywheel key.
