I don't know exactly what model you have. But, generally the brake is on the transaxle (rearend) just inside the right rear wheel. There is a rod with a spring going to an arm there. This arm rotates and pushes two small pin against a plate the comes out of the transaxle to stop it. Many times these small pins get corroded. They are metal and the transaxles and usually aluminum. You will have to take them out and sand the corrosion of, lubricate them and reinstall them. It's not a hard job. It just takes a half hour or so. I ran a riding mower for months with no brakes because I couldn't figure it out.

Back tires on riding lawn mower move in opposite directions?

If the tires are moving in opposite directions when you try to move the mower there is one of two things happening. Either the mower is stuck in gear or the brake is hanging. The more common is that the brake is hanging. If you can, have someone on the mower with it NOT running. Have them press down the brake pedal while you are watching under the mower and on the rear axle. There is a rod that goes to the brake assembly. The rod is pushing the brake linkage. Usually the bracket is stuck. You can pull it back forward and the brake will release. If it happens frequently you will need to lubricate the linkage without getting any lubrication on the brake discs themselves.
