Check carefully that there is nothing still jamming up the drive, belt parts have a way of wrapping tight around spinning shafts & pulley's, clutches....
When trying to turn the engine, if it has a pull start mechanism on it, it will Not turn backwards.
There should be No reason that shredding a belt should have damaged the engine... :smile:KennyV

Had everything apart,motor shaft pulley, everything.There's nothing jammed,guess motor is junk.
Seized up big time,tried turning from the top of the engine and from the drive shaft.Guess the son gonna look from another engine or a good used mower. thanks for the help

Yes checked that out too, pulled the starter off just to make sure..Thats also what i thought
no a belt jam could bend the shaft?Kids probably not telling the whole story.But it wouldnt be the first time
His money not mine,Iam just the repair guy on most things.
