Please provide the model number when asking a question like this. Different models use different techniques. Craftsman LT1200
Two types are listed, on mulching(134149) and one hi-lift(138498.) These have the star hole in the center.
There are two blades on that model. It has mixed reviews due to placement of some features but it is attractive to some people because of the large mower deck.

trying to find replacement blades for 1995 12horsepower 38in craftsman rider mower without having to order it from sears.
I think your talking about a lawn tractor? I have had this happen when the blades were prevented from rotating. You may want to check under the mower and see if there is anything wrapped around the center where the blades rotate or if the fan belt perhaps came off the pulleys and is preventing rotation. Hope this will help. Good luck.
A tractor employers blades that revolve to cut grass while moving.
Your blades either need to be replaced or sharpened quite a bit. Either that or your cutter is set too high and needs to be lowered.
If the blades are belt driven, like most are, then it makes no difference what position they are in. The deck is made so the blades do not touch each other.
Be sure that when you put the unit in reverse that the blades for the mower are not engaged. That will prevent the mower from operating
