Rod at back should be pushed all the way in, Safety First- everyone out of way, remove deck, scotch front wheels, jack up backside of tractor carefully, crank it up & see if wheels turn. Let us know what you find, thanks. Post model & serial numbers from tractor data plate or sticker.

They spin very slowly and sometimes not at all. I can stop it with my hand

Glad you got 'er rolling again- and agreed- thanks for the update! I don't know how many times I've looked at other forum posts and the OP never replies to say what the fix was! :confused2:

Happy mowing!
