The first thing to do is to check that the lawnmower belt is going around all of the pulleys in order (check manual for belt route). If the belt is on correctly, then make sure that it is tight around the pulleys and is not slipping. If that is not happening either, raise the deck to its maximum height. Then peek under the deck to see if anything is wrapped around or catching the blade. If you cant see under it, drive it onto a ramp or raise front end somehow so you can see under the deck. Also, on some models, the deck comes out from under the mower (consult the owner's manual). Then you should be able to determine the cause.

Maintaining Your Mower Blades?
For a healthy lawn, you should sharpen your lawnmower blades. Dull blades don�t cut your grass, they tear and damage it. You can use a file or a grinding wheel to sharpen them. You should always remember to remove the blades from the mower. Sharpening the blades while they are still attached to the mower is dangerous. You also need to keep the blades balanced. If your blades are uneven, sharpen the heavier end until the blades are level. Unbalanced blades cut unevenly and put extra wear and tear on the lawnmower. This will eventually damage your lawnmower�s engine.
