It is very rare that these mowers stick in gear when they are on flat ground. More than likely the brake is stuck on which mirrors the same symptoms. If it is the brake stuck you can lie on the ground by the right rear tire and look just behind and above the deck on the side of the rearend. There is a lever that hooks to the brake rod. That lever gets stuck and causes the brake to stick.
As for the "will not start" we will need more info. Exactly what is happenening when you try to start the mower? Does it crank overand not fire? Does it click but not do anything etc...
you need a new batteryA Different AnswerIf the engine cranks, then the battery is not the problem. Inspect the spark plug and clean/replace and gap to specs. If the spark plug is okay and has a good "fat" spark, then the problem lies in the fuel system. The fuel filter may be clogged and not allowing the fuel to reach the combustion chamber, or the fuel float may be stuck closed.
you pick it up and continue riding it.
You probably have a stuck float or the carb is out of adjustment or choke is stuck on. hope this helps

Your gears are probably stuck... that's my best guess because I havn't seen it... check it out though...
Sounds like the fuel inlet valve is stuck shut, or the float isn't working properly.
i don't know I'm stuck on it too but there are 3 in the kitchen and at the lawnmower outside on the left of the mansion
Riding boots! These are specifically designed for riding horses and are safe, as they have a heel which prevents your foot becoming stuck in the stirrup. However, paddock boots can also be worn, as well as wellington boots if you cannot find riding boots or are trying riding for the first time. NEVER wear trainers or flat soled shoes as these have no heels and your foot could slip through the stirrups and your foot could become stuck which is very dangerous.
If you can't turn the blade the motor is probably seized. Return the mower if it is new it will have a warranty.
The dog house on your recoil is broken or stuck. It's the thing that pops out and engages the shaft when you pull on it, it goes back in when you release the rope.
Stuck floats or dirty needle valve.
