I have a ferris zero turn riding mower, the mower starts and runs fine but when I lift the knob to engage blades nothing happens, not even a sound! I need help?

If nothing happens when you lift the knob, my guess is the switch is probably bad or you have a safety switch some where on the mower that isn't working.

Did you check any belts? the main drive belt for the deck might be off the pulleys.
