Bent blades or damaged blade spindle
Generally when I have that problem it is to do with worn or damaged blades. I have had string, rope or something on blades which make them unbalanced.

the belt running to the back tires has either slipped off r broken off. to get to it you simply go to the back and remove the plate in between rear wheels.

Having had the same problem on mine, it turned out to be the connection to the fuse under the instrument panel. After I cleaned the contacts on the fuse, it worked great. Also, I had to eventually apply some contact grease to keep it from repeating the problem every couple of weeks. Since then, I haven't had the issue for 2 years.

get down and gun your fingers in the slot that the belt rides in, soulds like you may have a small rock or piece of wood lodged in the v part of one of the pulleys. I bet thats it Jim
Problem with the micro switch under the drivers seat, clean/replace.
