I'll guess that the nut isn't clamping the blade, for whatever reason. Can you turn the blade without turning the shaft?

yes i can turn the blade and the nut in the middle will not move, when the engine is running the center nut spins which looks to be attatched to a pulley above which is driven by the belt.
