You either have a broken or missing spring that retracts the engage pulley or there is dirt or debris under the arm on top of the deck that the pulley is attached to.

Hi,
When the mower is off and the clutch is disengaged you should not be able to physically turn the blade(s) if you can then you need to adjust the blade brake (look on the mower deck and you should see what appears to be a brake pad). Your owners manual will show you how to adjust. If you need a copy of the owners manual then I would suggest going to www.managemyhome.com and downloading a free copy of the manual for your mower (Need model number which starts is located under the seat).
Good luck!

there are many safety cutoff switches on all mowers today, under seat, brake, neutral etc. I'm assuming you know that you due have battery power. Some of these safety switches are common problems in others words things get bent contacts are not made and they will not let your engine crank. Do you know if you have power to anything else ? gauges show life ? headlights work ? If not
then check your fuse. If it is blown/burned I can give you more suggestions. If it is bad fuse and blows again I have other suggestions. Good luck !
SOURCE: blade engagement lever won't disengage
If this is a manual engagment system all the lever does is to pull a jockey wheel into the back of the belt to tention it thus starting the blades to turn, so either the cable is jammed that pulls the jockey wheel in, or the jockey wheel arm is seized and needs freeing off to allow the jockey to to move to the relaxed position.
