I was driving forward and the mower just stopped moving forward. There was a small limb that run up under the mower that could have caused the issue?

I made sure the pin in back is released. I jacked up the mower. The drive belt is on both pulleys. The wheels spin freely in any position of the shifter. So I thought the transmission went out. But I grabbed the drive belt and pulled it along. It caused the wheels to turn. This seems to indicate the transmission is ok.

Does Anyone know if there is something that would tension the belt they could be the issue or any other suggestions

could be the drive pulley, maybe it lost the key between the pulley and the shaft (?)

Thanks I'll try to turn it. One other think I noticed, when I depress the brake the lock handle shoots out as the pedal goes down. Don't remember it doing that.
