    Hopefully you didn't bend the shaft. You can tell this if you turn the mower on its side (fuel cap up) and slowly turn the blade around carefully watching the distance between the end of the blade and the inside edge of the deck. If that gap changes in a complete revolution, it could be expensive:( Hopefully it is only the BBC (blade belt clutch) which does go out on these models. The BBC is the clutch that activates the blade. If it is not working, the mower will die when engaging the blade. Hope this solves your issue.:)
