Blades Don’t Turn

Was mowing with a 52” Hustler Raptor and the blades quit turning. When I pull the knob to engage the blades, there’s only a click. The belt appears to be in good condition. Don’t see any fuses except the main. Can anyone tell me what might be wrong?
Thanks

Dead PTO or wiring to it. Any mice around the farm? Bad ground some place?

If you hear the loud click ( I like to call it a Klunk ) then the PTO is working
So you have a belt problem
Probably dropped off a pulley that is under one of the covers .
 
Thanks for the help. Grass was packed around the pulleys on top of the deck. Cleared that and the blades came on, but the left blade isn’t working. Have to try to figure that out once the rain quits.
 
That cab only be the belt not turning the pulley or the pulley loose on the blade spindle
OK, perhaps the bade could be loose if it has a round hole .
Very important to keep the deck clean.
Very common for the deck belt to pretend it is a boy scout on camp and light a fire using friction on your deck
Do 2 or 3 fire rebuilds a year .
