Check the belt and if it isn't that, it could be the PTO. That's under the engine with two wires coming out of it. It will be in route with your blade belt
Take it pto a Dealer!

if you put a 540 adaptor onto a 1000 spd PTO of a tractor you must keep the engine rpm low enough so that it only turns at 540 PTO rpm some tractors have a selector lever for 540/1000 on some you must change the PTO shaft and it engages a different gear inside the tractor

- cut off the old belt - buy a new belt - take off the two pulleys that have yellow brackets (one on each side) that restrict you to just put on the belt - put the belt on all the other pulleys - put the other two pulleys back on
Could be the pto/drive shaft not connected or engaging, or the belt could be off. Pivot the wheels sideways, drop and remove the deck and remove the cover panels to replace the belt. Belt is on, but, PTO drive does not engage (does not turn-on).
As engine rpm increases so does pto speeed And if you tach your motor to an excessive amount of RPMs while the PTO is engaged, it will destroy that PTO, leading to zero PTO RPMs.
PTO is short for Power takeoff. It is to control a shaft comming out of a vehicle to power things like a snow blower attached to the front, or to control things on the back of a tractor... I never heard of a PTO on a lawn mower... It must be a pretty big lawn Mower. PTO on a riding mower will be an electric engaged clutch used to power a belt drive or other attachments. Oh yes, your right.. perhaps it may be the pull handle to engage it also.
PTO means Professional Tryout!!!!
