my 42 inch crafstman model 247288812

the blades wont engage

 

[ILENGINE]

Inspect the deck engagement cable both were it connects to the idler arm on the deck to engage the blade and also where it connects to the handle on the right side of the frame just above the right axle. Very common for the cable to break at the engagement handle, as well as the hook breaking off the spring.
