I had the same problem with my Troy-Bilt self propelled lawn mower. You have to use the grass catcher if your grass is high. Also, I mowed wet grass and it made my belt slip off the pulley and created a new problem, somowing wet grass is definitely not a good idea.

Take the front tires off, pull gears and take out pins, put tires back on and you have a "non-self propell" mower.

if it has a spark plug its petrol if not its diesel

You need to remove a pulley to put the new belt on.

It's possible the rope came out of it's pulley groove and is jammed inside the engine housing.
