The blades on my Craftsman Lawn tractor 917.270860 won't disengage. I looked at my buddies craftsman and it appears that the clutch cable is not moving the pulley to disengage the blade belt, I guess it is frozen. How do I remedy this?

If it is the cable it is likely rust. Disconnect the cable where it pulls on the tensioner pulley. Run WD 40 done the cable until it runs out at the bottom. Let soak for a few minutes and occasionally flex the cable. Try working your lever now. If nothing improves buy a new cable $12.
