Ran over a piece of metal that was in some high grass. Engine shut off. Can't get it to turnover, it just clicks when you turn the key. Pulled the belt and it moves so it's not stuck. Any ideas?

Remove key, remove ground cable from battery for SAFETY, Inspect topside & underside of deck, do blades turn by hand, belts & PTO clutch wiring look ok, inspect wiring under hood also, let us know what you find, thanks, Mark

I pulled the belt and everything turns. It wasn't a sharp piece of metal it was a tailgate ladder that was left in the tall grass. I don't see any damage underneath. I can hear the solenoid click but that's it.

Wait. I just crawled under and found that the deck got bent so the right side blade sits at an angle. Still, without the blades engaged it should still start
