Stalled out on a branch and now won't start

I've got a 932 grasshopper with a 72in front deck. When mowing I "found" a branch in some taller weeds that jammed the deck and stalled out the motor. Now I can't get it to start. It does not turn over. What am I missing? It worked flawlessly before that. I'm needing a little direction . I inherited this from my parents and had it for about 6wks.

I ran over a stump/mound of dirt with a JD x300 and it died. It wouldn't restart. I couldn't figure it out.
I got some 2x4's and worked it off the stump, then take it to shop. Never got to the shop, off the mound it started up and never showed any problem.

I assume you cleaned all the weeds and such off and out from under. Does it crank over but not start? Is it possible it sheared the flywheel key?

Or does it do absolutely nothing, like a safety switch not satisfied?
 
Did you actually look to see if a piece of limb is still jamming the blades so they cannot move. In such a case the starter will strain and get hot if you continue to work the starter switch against its spring load.
 
There's power to the starter. From reading other threads, it sounds like the pto switch? Nothing is torn loose, I checked out the seat switch, it's fine. I looked for safety switches for the control arms but can't find them. I looked for wiring going to the arms and linkage, but didn't find them. Thoughts?
