mower hard to turn over after 6 months

"...when the bale is pulled back."

What is the "bale" ?- new term to me.

Yet to see an engine fitted with a flywheel brake?
Sorry, spelling error. The bail is the lever that you pull back to disengage the engine brake and the grounding wire, ie: it is part of the deadman switch that shuts down the engine and blade when it is released.
