I have a model YTH2348 and this is our first riding mower. My wife decided to help mow yard. Well she hit a stump. Now whenever I start mower it won’t go into forward or reverse. There is a loud noise whenever I released brake. So mower starts just fine. Just won’t drive. Well I found the drive belt slipped off pulley…so I put it back on but it happened again. Any advise on what I should do?

Welcome to the forum!
I'm going to move your thread over to our Husqvarna section to see if we can help you get that mower going in the right direction(s) again.
Also check that the belt is on the rear pulley and not sitting between the pulley and the fan
If neither of these are the problem then locate the stabilizer at the front of the transmission.
It might be a strap or a couple of bolts joining the front of the tranny to the frame, check that these have not sheared or the mounting bent allowing the transmission to cant foreward & down.
Other than that, support the mower on jack stands and get an assistant to release the brake & work the drive pedal while you are under the mower watching & listening.
Use 2 stands either side of the frame and not one on the tow mount
