on the brake
The brake switch on a John Deere 310G may not release due to several reasons, including a malfunctioning switch itself, a jammed or faulty brake pedal, or an electrical issue such as a blown fuse or bad wiring. Additionally, dirt or debris around the brake pedal can prevent it from fully disengaging. Inspecting these components can help identify the root cause of the problem. If necessary, consulting the service manual or a professional mechanic is advisable for a thorough diagnosis.

I believe it is threaded into the transaxle at the rear of the mower
Because the seat switch is faulty and needs replacing.
You should never by pass any safety sensors on your lawn mower. BUT :for testing your brake sensor you can try taking the wires off the switch that is hooked ether at the back of the peddle or on the linkage and join them together .That should bypass it until you get a new switch.
If it will start then the switch that indicates that the brake is disengaged is still on. Possibly adjust or replace switch.

To bleed the brakes on a John Deere 5100E, start by ensuring the tractor is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Locate the bleeder valve on each brake cylinder, typically found near the wheel assembly. Use a wrench to open the valve while a helper depresses the brake pedal, allowing brake fluid to escape until no air bubbles are visible. Close the valve and repeat the process for each brake until you achieve a firm pedal feel.
one end on the undercarriage (1/8 holes) the other end on the shaft that goes to pedal
This is the same in most tractors,the left pedal is for the left brake and the right for the right one. If the tractor gets stuck you can apply the brake to the wheel that is spinning to force the wheel with more traction to turn.

To disengage a stuck parking brake on a John Deere LX 176, first ensure that the tractor is on a level surface and the engine is off. Check for any obstructions or debris around the brake linkage that might be causing it to stick. If necessary, gently pull the parking brake lever while simultaneously pressing the brake pedal to relieve tension. If the brake remains stuck, you may need to inspect the brake components for wear or damage.
