I have Troy-Bilt Model #13AN779G766 Pony 2005 lawn mower.
The problem is it will not go forward or reverse. Put it up on jack stand and took the tire off. Crank it it up look under it only the engine pulley is turning then blue smoke form the pulley and belt. Anybody know what to do to fix these.
Thank you,
kentpat

Yep! Take it to a lawn mower repair shop and have them look at it, and then have them fix it. Too many things to go wrong, and when we would have to figure it out--it would be impossible.
Hear this: If it sat outside all winter, uncovered, there might be several issues preventing it from running or moving.

More than likely you have a belt or pulley issue. The rear idler or VS pulley could have seized and sometimes in storage the belts will actually rust to the pulleys and won't turn. This is because they slowly pick up metal from the pulleys. In the same spirit, the brake could be locked. You could start by pulling the battery which will give you access to the rest of the drive system. Pulling the deck will make your life easier as the traction belts both will need replacement now.
