Model 917270641 seems to be stuck in gear

I have a 42inch sears about 1998 year that seems to be stuck in gear. I have pulled out the lever in back so it should be able to free wheel but that is not happening. Any suggestions?

I found the problem the brake lever on top of transaxle was stuck some pb blaster and a little tap, it now free wheels.
