I have an issue with my riding lawn mower. The motor turns over and the mower itself drives but the blades will not turn. Its probably an easy fix but my mind can't get around how to make the blades rotate. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the belt that turns the blades of off. Its not hard to fix but it is a pain.

After checking the belt for proper osition and tension also check the main engine pulley to see if it turns with the ngine running. I sheared off a key last week and the pulley spun. Darn stumps.
