I started my lawn tractor a short while ago everything was as usual. I had trimmed a few brambles in front of the shed and went over it with the lawn tractor and suddenly it won't move. The clutch feels funny and will not move either forward or backward although it tries to move.. I can smell something as if a belt has broken or something when I try to move the gear lever into forward or reverse. It sounds like something metallic is rattling. Unfortunately the lawn tractor is too heavy for me to lift up to see if something is caught underneath. Just wondering what might be the problem.
