My mower seem's to have electronic blade engage/disengage control, I was mowing the blades stopped and won't restart .The engine starts and runs fine.
Check fuses and then start testing the wiring and clutch

Try pulling on the cable coming down to deck. This cable might be your problem. Also check that the spring on the end of this cable is present and functional.
SOURCE: Knocking in mower deck or belt clutch when engaging blades, motor bogs / slows down
YOU MAY HAVE A BENT BLADE OR EXESSEIVE BUILD UP UNDER THE DECK

maybe the safty switch under seat might be starting to go out if that switch doesn't work the blades wont come on at all for safety

This is too late, but for the next person: There is an extension spring around the cable attached to the blade engage/disengage lever.
On my tractor one end of the spring had the hook broken off or it. Because it is around the cable it is still in place but doesn't stretch when you engage the blade (so can't pull the pulley out and slacken the belt when you disengage).
The replacement is a few dollars and can be bought on ebay or Amazon.
